Hi, I'm wanting to brew up some Dry Stout and my LHBS was out of Flaked Barley, but they said I could get barley from Wholefoods or whatever and just boil it for 20minutes, then add it to the mash as you would the flaked barley. They say this would gelatinize it and it would have the same effects (I'm really looking for the mouthfeel and body from the unmalted barley, fermentables are largely LME).
Has anyone succeeded with doing something like this? They had me convinced in the store, now I want to ask HBT to confirm if I go for it or go to another store to get flaked, or get something shipped.
