It has been a while since I used any flaked grains but I believe I simply threw them in as is to the mash previously. I got to thinking though that perhaps it would be beneficial to grind them up some in the mill with the other grains. The thinking being that smaller pieces=more surface area exposed for conversion. I am getting my oatmeal stout ready to brew and it includes flaked(rolled) oats (duh) and flaked barley.
What do you folks do with flaked grains? Mill or leave whole? Does it effect sparge at all either way? Effect extract?
