Grains

Corn Grits

Imparts a corn or grain taste. Mash required. Used to increase gravity of American lagers.

Type: Adjunct Origin: US Supplier: Yield: 80.0 % Potential: 1.037 Color: 1.0 SRM Max in Batch: 10.0 % Moisture: - % Protein: - % Coarse Fine Difference: - % Diastatic Power: - % Recommend Mash: FALSE

Flaked Grains

Flaked Barley

Raw Barley

Raw, unmalted barley can be used to add body to your beer. Use in homebrew requires very fine milling combined with a decoction or multi-stage mash. Performs best when used in small quantities with well modified grains.
