Flaked Yellow Corn
Produced from yellow corn that has had the germ, oil and most of the protein removed, and then rolled between heated rollers to form flakes. The cooking and rolling process "gelatinizes" the starches, making them readily soluble and digestible by the enzymes in the mash. This allows the flakes to be added directly to the mash without any special treatment.
Flaked Corn lightens color and body, but maintains alcohol content. Use in small quantities to add depth of character and a slightly sweet creaminess to lighter ales and lagers. Very popular in cream ales. Use 1-4 oz. Can be steeped or mashed.
Each packet contains 4oz. of flakes
