Flaked Oats - 50 lb bag

Pregelatinized oat flakes have been produced specifically for brewing. The process of gelatinizing makes the starches readily soluble and digestible by the naturally occurring enzymes in barley malt. This allows the flakes to be incorporated directly into the mash with other grains. Because the flakes have a large surface area and are pre-cooked, they hydrate and disintegrate quickly. Filtration time will be normal. Oat flakes have been dehulled before being cooked and flaked. Although these flakes are readily attacked by the malt enzymes, yield will be slightly lower than with other pregelatinized flakes. Oat flakes have a very distinctive "sticky" mouthfeel which is noticeable even when used in small amounts.
