Frequently Asked Questions
Is 500g enough for a stout?

For a 23 litre batch at around 10% of the grain bill, 500g is about right. Check your recipe, as some use more.

Does flaked barley add sweetness or colour?

Very little. It adds body, head and a dry cereal note, with a colour of only 3.0-4.5 EBC.

Do I need to mill it?

No, it is already flaked and gelatinised, so it goes straight into the mash with your base malt.
