Flaked Barley
Flaked Barley is unmalted, cooked, and dried barley that has been rolled into flat flakes. It imparts a rich, grainy flavor to beer and is used in many stouts, particularly Irish stouts, enhancing head formation and foam stability.
This increases the attenuation limit, while also adding high molecular weight protein for head retention, as well as greater body and turbidity.
Flaked Barley gives a grainy bite to beers and can be used to reduce the addition of wheat in beer styles such as New England IPAs, wheat beers and saisons.
