Barley flakes (1 kg)

Barley flakes (1 kg)

Used in some styles of Bitter and Stout beers, barley flakes increase the body and head retention of beer and give it a spicy cereal flavour. They take the form of gelatinised cereal flakes with the possibility of extracting the sugars that impart particular flavours to beer. If the conversion of starch into fermentable sugars is to be achieved, the flakes must be added together with the Pilsner or Pale ale malt during mashing.
