Subject: Flaked Barley Extract Potential


I'm looking in Designing Great Beers and can't seem to find the extract
potential of Flaked barley. I wouldn't think it was 0, so I don't want
to add fermentables to my wort and mess up my BU/GU ratio. I'm making
a cream stout. Thanks for the help.

Palmer lists a max PPG of 32 for flaked barley. Factor in your typical
mash efficiency to get your expected yield.
