Flaked Barley

To produce Blue Lake Milling's Flaked Barley, raw barley is steamed and then pressed through a pair of rollers. Much like 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 helps the beer retain head. It imparts a rich, smooth, grainy flavour suited to stouts and porters, and can also add characteristics such as spiciness and dryness. Flaked Barley also performs well as an adjunct in German-style pilsners, as it can produce a lighter colour without lowering the gravity.
