Flaked Maize - Adjuncts are sources of starch used to supplement the main barley malt in the mash (base malt). They also enhance beers and are a regular ingredient in certain styles, largely to create an additional feature, such as brewhouse extension, foam enhancement, greater mouthfeel and flavor and more turbidity.
They can also both reduce or increase the Total Nitrogen (TN) of a grist, while also reducing or increasing the color. This process of part gelatinisation and flaking aids the mashing liquor to access the endosperm and negates the need to mill the product. Mash ready corn flakes, produced from yellow corn, will provide depth of character to lighter beers when used in moderate quantities. Can be used in amounts of up to 40% of the total grist.
Typically added directly to the mash and commonly utilized in small quantities in English Bitters and Pale Ales. For American and Mexican lagers, Flaked Barley may be specified in the malt bill, ranging from 10-40% of the grist. For clones of commercially produced beers, specify the adjunct in clones of popular beers of Mexico.
