Flaked Barley

Rolled Flaked Barley is a malt adjunct for beer which aids head retention. Flaked Barley is unmalted, cooked, and dried barley that has been rolled into flat flakes. It imparts a rich, grainy flavour to beer and is used in many stouts, particularly Irish stouts, enhancing the head formation and foam stability.  It provides additional body, with a creamy, silky mouthfeel and taste. It does not have the enzymes needed for conversion so should be mashed with malted grains. Normally used in quantities up to 20% of the grain bill
