Flakes & Adjuncts

We apply the same high-quality standard to the production of brewers flakes as we do to malting. We start by sourcing only the highest quality raw grains. All grains are tested prior to purchase. Quality control checkpoints continue throughout processing, and automated packaging assures that each bag is filled to within one ounce of its target 25-pound net weight. The multi-ply kraft paper bags have a moisture barrier liner for extended product shelf life.

Briess brewers flakes are pregelatinized specifically for brewing. The process of gelatinizing the grains makes the starches readily soluble and digestible by the naturally occurring enzymes in barley malt. This allows the flakes to be added directly to the mash with other grains, eliminating the need for a cereal cooker.

Brewers Barley Flakes

Slightly grainy

Use as an adjunct in all-grain brews to produce a lighter colored finished beer without lowering the original gravity. The flakes can be incorporated directly into your mash with other grains because they have a large surface area and are pre-cooked so they hydrate and disintegrate quickly. They can be used in place of corn as an adjunct to eliminate corn flavor in the finished beer.

Brewers Torrified Wheat

Slightly nutty

The torrified wheat has been heat-treated to break the cellular structure, allowing more rapid hydration and malt enzymes to more completely attack the starches and protein. They can be used in place of raw wheat when making Belgian-style White and Wit beers. Advantages over raw wheat include normal conversion time and higher yield. To decrease lautering time, include a small amount of rice hulls.

Brewers Yellow Corn Flakes Non-GMO

Fresh corn flavor

Use to produce a beer with mild, less malty flavor and a drier, more crisp beer. These can be used as a cereal adjunct and can be added to the mash without first using a cereal cooker. The pregelatinized flakes will give a higher yield and a more trouble-free brew than conventional flaked corn. You can add them directly to the mash with the malt without having to mill.

Rice Hulls

No added flavor

Rice Hulls are a filtering aid that improves the speed of vorlauf and lautering. They are particularly effective when brewing high gravity beers with a big grist, beer made with high percentages of specialty malts, and wheat and rye beers.
