MAIZE FLAKES Wort color; 3-4 EBC / 1.3-1.7 Lovibond VIEW SPECIFICATION |
Maize Flakes are a pre-gelatinized brewing adjunct produced from selected maize kernels submitted to the flaking process where the whole kernel is steamed and passed through heated rollers to open the starch structure within the kernel endosperm. Also, Maize Flakes have low levels of lipids and proteins and a high level of carbohydrates that have to be considered in the brewing process.
Help to lighten the body and flavor of the beer and refreshing beer with a clean and crisp mouthfeel and beautiful pale color. Maize Flakes have a slightly higher color and give a slightly sweeter finish to the beer compared to Rice Flakes.
