Flaked Adjunct Comparison - Unmalted Grains To Lighten Body
Рет қаралды 7,394
2 жыл бұрынWant to know the difference between flaked maize and flaked rice? This video compares the two flaked adjuncts to an all-malt beer.
This week, Mike presents three different brews to compare the effect of body lightening adjuncts, Corn and Rice.
Mike brewed a control beer with 100% base malt or normal 2-row. He also made two more beers where he substituted in 10% of Flaked Corn or Flaked rice.
The corn and rice beers were noticeably lighter in color than the 100% base malt beer. The corn beer had a subtle grainy aroma in comparison to the more prominent mild dough like quality of the control. The rice beer had almost no perceptible aroma coming off of it.
The rice beer had more of a hoppy zing to it reminiscent of American Craft Lager. We postulate that the rice is so bland it lets even the most subtle of spicy hop character shine. The corn beer's flavor was not corn sweet but it was a softer more rounded malt flavor.
Let us know your experiences with Flaked Corn or Rice in the comments!
Cheers!

I didn't expect the corn/rice beers to look noticeably lighter than the base beer. Great video as always! Glad to see No-Chill is getting some love!

I just tried flaked rice alongside flaked oats in a Milkshake IPA and the haze stability was great! It aslo has this great soft puffy mouth feel that I've never noticed with only flaked oats. I did use a 50/50 yeast blend of Omega British V (London Ale III) and Omega Sundew. Fun beer. I'll definitely keep trying flaked rice in my NEIPA/Hazy IPA's.

Tremendous video yet again guys, you've inspired me to brew a cream ale which turned out very nice with 10% of flaked maize in the grain bill. I thought I would try another cream ale which I'm calling a corn ale as it's got 23% of flaked maize in it's grain bill - it looks very light as it's almost finished fermenting and I'll report back when I get to tasting it.
@MRW3455 2 жыл бұрын
I did try to brew an American light lager using flaked maize, but I think I overdid it as the corn flavour was too much but honestly I don't think UK taste buds are used to that type of flavour. However inspired to retry it using flaked rice for those long summer BBQ days. Cheers and keep up the great work.

Excellent video. I started following both of you after I stumbled across one of your older Cream Ale videos. I love that style. I really wish the sugar version would have turned out. After many iterations, I've landed on 18% Flaked Corn and 7% sugar. Cheers!

Those beers are unusually clear for the type experiment you did. I’m a big fan of no chill and do the same in these colder months. Pure laziness of not futzing with the chiller of course. Interesting about the lacing. All 3 had great retention almost like some wheat malt in there. Appreciate you guys pushing the option of lagers to everyone. I was also intimidated by them until I actually tried one and found it wasn’t really that hard if you used the elements in your favor. Unless you have fancy temp control of course, ha. Anyway, thanks for sharing. Cheers from Uxbridge.

That's crazy that such a relatively small amount makes such a big difference, did not expect that. I brew a lot with regular rice doing a cereal mash, i'm going to have to look into corn after watching this.

Just a note if you have an Indian store anywhere close you can buy "poha" which is a version of flaked rice that is much cheaper than what you would buy at your LHBS.

Good video guys. I brewed last month a Japanese Rice Lager 60% pilsen/40% flaked rice/sorachi Ace 30min/15min/0min. It is lagering in keg at 0°C for 2 weeks now. And I do have this zero aroma in the beer and was wondering why. If you got this with 10%, gotta be the rice, right? Cheers!!

Hi Jack - no, I haven't brewed a SMaSH beer with ale malt and orange peel but that sounds great. We have a bottle filler and we have mixed feelings about it. The Grainfather should be great! Cheers - John

Great Video. I believe that the lack of complexity is how I arrived at homebrewing. Never mind that once a year I need a new belt and new pants because the carbs have altered my dimensions. I am a beer snob. Those expenses come with the territory. Looking forward to the style drawing series. Cheers Dudes.
