How do I covert the starches in this product without using something like 2 row barley?

Gary Mckinnon on Oct 16, 2021

BEST ANSWER: Exogenous enzymes can be used to convert starches if insufficient Diastatic Power/Potential exists in the grist. The question is what percentage of the grain bill does the maize constitute, and what other grains are in the bill at what percentages. I can't remember exactly what DP number is required from a diastatic grain to convert an equal amount of adjunct grain, off the top of my head I'd guess around 50 or so, but most base malts under 10* L have sufficient DP to do the job. Interestingly some wheat malts have a higher DP than 2 row barley, Briess 2 row Brewers malt is 140* while their White wheat is 160* and Red wheat malt is 180*.

Probably the best way would be to use Amylase enzymes. You could also make Chica Beer by chewing mouthfuls of the corn, spitting it out and relying on the enzymes in your saliva. This as an ancient Central/South American beer that Dogfish Head brewed several years ago.

There are a number of exogenous enzymes available which may work in lieu of mashing with grain that has sufficient diastatic capacity. I am at a loss though as to why one would want to do so.

You can add enzymes to the mash (which Morebeer and many other stores sell), which do essentially the same thing that the enzymes contained in barley do.

You will need some form of alpha amylase enzyme - either from a malted grain or an additive.

Yes, all flaked adjuncts contain gelatinized starch due to the process in making it. It is steam treated and then rolled between hot rollers. I’ve found this particular one to fall right in line with beer Smith’s stock profile. Don’t mill, add right to mash. Corn gelatinizes at 143.5° to 165° F if it is a concern for you.

Its already gone through the gelatinization process making the starch accessible for further breakdown into more simple sugars; meaning you still need to mash it to convert the corn starch to fermentable sugars.

Scott Rogerson on Sep 25, 2019

BEST ANSWER: Flaked grains do NOT need to be milled.

Flaked/Rolled = Never Run Thru Your Mill.

They will no go thru the mill.

Crush your other grains and then weigh out any flaked grains, Do Not Mill.

It says “Malt Corn,” is it malted?

Steve Sanve on Nov 3, 2019

BEST ANSWER: Flaked corn is not malted. It has been gelatinized and rolled so that it is ready for starch extraction. Flaked corn does not have the enzymes need to breakdown the starches so, you need malted grains with it in the mash.

No. It is not malted in the sense that germinating Barley is malted. However, it is a natural starch that converts to sugar in the mash. It adds corn sugar to the wort. You could just add some processed corn sugar to the wort for a sweet corn addition but Flaked Maize is a more natural and less processed way of adding sweetness and fermentible sugar to your beer. It is appropriate for American Light Lagers and Cream Ales. The grain bills for most commercial American Light Lagers includes corn or rice.

Nice Surprise

Been awhile since needing brewing ingredients. Placed an order with MoreBeer. (Spent WAY TOO MUCH money at MB over the years as MB is one of my top “go to” places for all things brewing ;-)) Nice surprise, and a, why didn’t this happen before moment, when seeing the 5-pound bags of ingredients as every bag has a zip lock. Small bag change for a HUGE improvement. Way to go MoreBeer!

One thing that hasn’t changed since my last ingredient purchase from MB: Fresh quality ingredients delivered in a timely manner.

Ideal for a Premium American Lager

I'm still experimenting, but most Premium American Lager recipes call for corn or maize in some form. This pre-gelatinized form mashes easily, and should fill out the flavor profile nicely. It's too early to report on the final result, but I'll check back in in a few months with that information. What goes best with beer, you may ask - More Beer, of course.
