Use: Gives colour, spicy flavours and a clean, dry mouth feel.
Rate: Recommend starting with 10%, can then be increased up to 50% for more rye flavour.

Harraways Flaked Barley is produced much like their rolled oats. Raw barley is steamed and then pressed through a pair of rollers. Flaked barley can also be added directly to the mash with base and speciality malts.
It imparts a rich, smooth, and grainy flavour and is commonly used in stouts, but can also perform well as an adjunct in German style pilsners, as it can produce lighter colour without lowering the gravity.
Flaked Wheat adds to increased body and foam retention.
Used in place of raw or torrified wheat for faster conversion and better yield.
May be used in small amounts to improve head retention and body.
Flaked Maize consists of maize grits that have been torrefied at high temperatures, resulting in gelatinisation of the starchy endosperm, and then flaked. It is ready to add to the mash tun, requiring no cereal cooking, but without any enzymes of its own it must be mashed with malted grains for starch conversion to take place.
Flaked Maize lightens wort and can add a unique corn flake-like sweetness beers.It lowers protein and tannin levels in the wort and will therefore thin the body of the beer as well as reduce the potential for haze.
Oat Hulls are the outer shell layer of the oat, inedible and normally removed from the oat.
When used for brewing the hulls improve the filter bed of the mash to decrease the likelihood of a stuck mash. Oat hulls are non-fermentable, and provide bulk helping prevent the mash from settling and becoming stuck during the sparge. Hulls are generally used when making wheat or rye beers.
