Crisp Flaked Maize – 1kg Bag

Flaked Maize from Crisp Malt is GM-free maize that has been heat-treated to gelatinise the starch and then flaked, ready for the mash. It lightens body and colour and adds a gentle corn-flake sweetness. This is the 1kg bag.

What it adds

• Lightens the body and colour of the wort
• A clean flavour with a subtle corn-flake sweetness
• Keeps the alcohol up while making the beer crisper and drier
• GM-free maize, pre-gelatinised so it goes straight into the mash

Specifications

How to use it

Add it to the mash with a crushed base malt such as lager malt; the base malt supplies the enzymes to convert it.
