Process: Raw barley is steamed and then pressed through a pair of rollers. Much like the Rolled Oats, Flaked Barley can be added directly to the mash with the base and specialty malts. Flaked Barley is an adjunct that adds creaminess and head retention to the beer. It imparts a rich, smooth, and grainy flavour appropriate for stouts and porters, and can also add characteristics such as spiciness and dryness to the beer. Flaked Barley also performs well as an adjunct in German style pilsners, as it can produce lighter colour without lowering the gravity.
