quick question about flaked grains

[400d]

should I crush/grind my flaked barley for mashing? I really need this answer quick because I'm in the middle of the process

 

[Pappers_]

No, throw it in the mash as-is

Flaked=crushed (more or less)

What Pappers said

 

[400d]

so, no crush.... but it will float on the surface, isn't it?

 

[Tonedef131]

It doesn't matter either way.

 

[400d]

thank you very much guys

If it's in hot water the flaked barley will be converted. Pretty much like a catholic on the Jewish holiday of "Boil the gentiles, oy veh!"
