Adjuncts
Unmalted grains for flavor and body.
Unmalted barley gives a smooth, creamy, and sometimes grainy flavor to beer while improving body and head retention. Popular in dry stouts.
|
Pregelatinized Corn Flakes can be used as a cereal adjunct; no cooking required. The pregelatinized flakes will give a higher yield and a more trouble-free brew than a conventional flaked corn. It produces a beer with a milder, less grainy-malty flavor, drier, crisper, lighter in color, without lowering alcohol.
|
A classic ingredient in oatmeal stouts. Adds body and head retention, lends dry smooth character. Flaked oats can be added to the mash without first cooking.
|
Essential in rye, or "roggen," beers, rarely used elsewhere. Imparts a strong, unique, dry flavor. Must be mashed to avoid starch haze and protein stability problems in finished beer.
|
A popular adjunct used in small amounts, improves head retention and body.
|
Improves lautering (mash runoff) in high gravity brews and brews made with high percentages of specialty malts, wheat malt, and adjuncts. As an inert processing aid, rice hulls impart no characteristics to the finished beer. Use 2-5% rice hulls to increase the speed of runoff.
