I was considering adding some Flaked Barley to my latest brew to increase the creaminess, mouth feel and head retention. I know from having read JP's, How To Brew that a protein rest for grists consisting of 25% or more of such a grain would be beneficial.
Would adding my 5-10% of Flaked Barley to the MLT first and seperately, so that I could perform a protein rest only on it make a marked difference compared to simply combining it with the rest of the grist and skipping the protein rest altogether?
In your opinion, is this too much hassle for too little or no benefit?
