Crisp Flaked Maize – 500g Bag

This 500g bag of Crisp Flaked Maize is enough to lighten a single batch of lager or cream ale. The maize is gelatinised and flaked, so it goes straight into the mash and gives a crisp, clean, slightly sweet finish.

Why brewers use it

• 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
