Flaked Barley for Brewing

Flaked Barley is a versatile brewing adjunct used to increase body, improve texture, and strengthen foam stability in a variety of beer styles. Packaged in a one-pound bag, it contributes a smooth, creamy mouthfeel and a fuller overall profile without adding sweetness, making it well suited for stouts, porters, cream ales, and other beers that benefit from enhanced richness. Its ability to support head retention provides a more stable and lasting foam in the finished pint.

This ingredient offers functional value by supplying proteins that build mouthfeel and contribute to a soft, rounded texture. Flaked Barley integrates easily into a mash and works alongside base malts to create a balanced grain bill. Its neutral character allows it to blend seamlessly with roasted malts and specialty grains while maintaining a consistent flavor profile.

With a color rating of approximately one degree Lovibond, Flaked Barley adds pale color and mild grain flavor with light cereal notes. It performs reliably in all-grain and partial mash brewing, supporting beers that require additional body or improved foam quality.

Flaked Barley can be used at five to ten percent of the grain bill to increase creaminess or at higher levels, up to twenty percent, for fuller, more robust beers. Because it contains pre-gelatinized starches, it can be added directly to the mash without additional preparation, making it easy to incorporate into a variety of recipes.

Designed for brewers seeking greater control over mouthfeel and foam stability, Flaked Barley provides a dependable way to create beers with a smooth, satisfying texture.
