Yellow Corn (Pregelatinized Flakes); Briess
Yellow Corn (Pregelatinized Flakes); Briess
Characteristics & Applications: • Pregelatinized Yellow Corn Flakes can be used as a cereal adjunct. The flakes 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 a conventional flaked corn. Also, the corn has been degermed (the oil removed), thus eliminating rancidity. • Using Pregelatinized Yellow Corn Flakes as an adjunct produces a lower color in the finished beer without lowering the original gravity. • Pregelatinized Yellow Corn Flakes produce a beer with a mild, less malty flavor • Pregelatinized Yellow Corn Flakes produce a drier, more crisp beer. • Use up to 40% as a cereal adjunct in the total grist • Add directly to the mash with the malts. Do not mill. A single or multiple temperature infusion can be used. Conversion time and lautering time will be normal.
