It imparts a lovely grainy flavour and can be used in quite large quantities in black beers. Flaked barley can, however cause haze problems in paler styles, where the percentage should not exceed 5%.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAllergy Information: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis product may contain barley and other gluten-containing cereals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Flaked Barley?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlaked barley is produced by steaming whole barley grains and then rolling them between two rollers to create flat flakes. This process gelatinizes the starches in the barley, making them more accessible to enzymes during the brewing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wWOJcd\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"exacc_wtH9Y6PyH5G0gAb7tZPIDg_2\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"exacc_wtH9Y6PyH5G0gAb7tZPIDg_1\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"exacc_wtH9Y6PyH5G0gAb7tZPIDg_1\" class=\"iDjcJe IX9Lgd wwB5gf\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eIs Flaked Barley the same as malted Barley?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r21Kzd\" data-hveid=\"CBQQAQ\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwij27nP-7f9AhURGsAKHfvaBOkQuk56BAgUEAE\"\u003eNo Flaked Barley is not malted, therefore is does not contain any enzymes to convert the starch. Flaked grains are steamed and then crushed by 2 rollers that are hot to create the flakes.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r21Kzd\" data-hveid=\"CBQQAQ\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwij27nP-7f9AhURGsAKHfvaBOkQuk56BAgUEAE\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r21Kzd\" data-hveid=\"CBQQAQ\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwij27nP-7f9AhURGsAKHfvaBOkQuk56BAgUEAE\"\u003eFlaked barley in homebrewing is its ability to improve mouthfeel and body in beer. Flaked barley contains beta-glucans, which are soluble fibres that contribute to a thicker and creamier mouthfeel. This is particularly useful in beer styles such as stouts and porters, where a creamy, full-bodied mouthfeel is desired.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r21Kzd\" data-hveid=\"CBQQAQ\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwij27nP-7f9AhURGsAKHfvaBOkQuk56BAgUEAE\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"r21Kzd\" data-hveid=\"CBQQAQ\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwij27nP-7f9AhURGsAKHfvaBOkQuk56BAgUEAE\"\u003eAnother advantage of using flaked barley in homebrewing is its ability to improve head retention. The proteins in flaked barley help to stabilize the foam on top of the beer, creating a thick, creamy head that lasts longer. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Home Brew Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64977690919261,"sku":"101432","price":1.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/7183\/4461\/files\/FlakedBarley.webp?v=1781511451","url":"https:\/\/www.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk\/products\/flaked-barley-500g","provider":"The Home Brew Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
