Question about flaked barley

[mt_rob]

I'm doing my first AG dry stout and something occurred to me when I was mashing in...should I have run the flaked barley through my mill with the other grains? I didn't and it's too late now, but what's the answer? Appreciate any more experienced brewer's answer.

I never mill anything flaked. Just mix into the milled grains and into the mash.

What sheldon said. You don't need to run it through the mill. On the flip side, it doesn't matter if you did either.

Thanks guys. I noticed that the flaked barley was 20% of my recipe's gravity points, so I was concerned that it would cause me to miss my OG. But looks like I'm fine.

I have gone both ways and never noticed any difference in the final product.
