Nutty Whole-Grain Character • Light Body Without Blandness • No Cereal Cook NeededFlaked Brown Rice is a pre-gelatinized adjunct milled from whole brown rice, with the bran and ger m left intact rather than polished away. It lightens body and dries the finish the way any rice adjunct does, but it brings a gentle nutty, whole-grain character that plain white rice cannot, giving brewers a way to thin a beer out without stripping all the personality from it.With an extract potential of 38 PPG and a color of just 1 °Lovibond, it contributes excellent fermentable sugar while adding almost nothing to the color of the finished beer. The flakes are already gelatinized and go straight into the mash alongside your base malt, so there is no cereal cooking step to plan around.Flavor & Aroma Profile Soft nutty character carried by the retained bran Light body with a dry, clean finish Subtle whole-grain and toasted-rice notes Low residual sweetness, keeps the palate crisp Rounder mouthfeel than polished white rice Modest additions dry the finish and sharpen drinkability while leaving a faint grainy warmth behind. Larger additions push toward the feather-light body of a classic rice lager, but the bran keeps a nutty backbone that stops the beer from tasting hollow.Brewing ApplicationsFlaked Brown Rice is a useful ingredient across crisp, drinkable styles, including: American Lager American Light Lager Japanese-style Rice Lager Cream Ale Blonde Ale Dry Saison Session IPA It is also used in high-gravity beers to raise alcohol without adding heaviness, and in hop-forward beers where a thinner malt background lets the hops sit further forward.Usage RecommendationsFlaked Brown Rice is typically used at 10 to 20% of the total grain bill, and up to 40% in rice-forward lagers. Lower percentages give a subtle drying effect and a touch of grain character; higher percentages deliver the light body and snappy finish rice is known for, with the nuttiness becoming more noticeable as the proportion climbs.Rice carries no enzymes of its own, so pair it with a well-modified base malt that has enough diastatic power to convert both. A normal single-infusion mash is all it needs.Specifications PPG (Points Per Pound Per Gallon): 38 Color: 1 °Lovibond Flavor Notes: Nutty, light, crisp, whole grain Usage Rate: 10 to 20% of grain bill, up to 40% in rice-forward lagers Beer Styles: American and Japanese lagers, cream ales, blonde ales, dry saisons Whether you're building a crisp rice lager, lightening the body of a big beer, or looking for an adjunct that dries a beer out without erasing its character, Flaked Brown Rice delivers the clean finish of rice with a whole-grain depth that polished rice leaves behind.
