[EduardoVendruscolo]

Hi there,

On my last beer production, when i was milling the malts the strong wind take the smallest particles away, this particles seems like a powder or a flour, does this powder contains sugars? or maybe this powder is a part of the skin of the grain.

The flour is a mixture of both starch and husk material.
