Flaked Maize (corn) is a classic adjunct used by both commercial and craft brewers to lighten body, reduce colour, and produce a cleaner, crisper fermentation character. Pre-gelatinised for direct mash use, this 5 kg bag adds a subtle sweetness and a smooth, rounded palate without a cereal cooking step.

Historically associated with American lagers and cream ales, flaked maize reduces the protein load and lightens colour while preserving a delicate sweetness. At higher rates (up to 40%), it produces the characteristic dryness of pre-prohibition lagers.
