Flaked Maize

[Rossa]

I've got a big big bag and won't need it all.

€1 a kg. cod but I'm not going out of my way.

[Dr Jacoby]

Myself and Shiny might need some of that. We're doing a Rochefort 10 clone in a month or so and need to get some wheat starch. If that doesn't work out maize would be a decent alternative. If nobody else takes it off you I'll get back to you...

Hi Rossa, how much you got roughly?

[Rossa]

I have at least 10kg to get rid of!

I planned to use it in a big project but only need half of it. If I can't the DSPCA will be getting a Christmas present or new year present!

[Rossa]

Where did you get it?

It's Connolly's Red Mills. Got it in Enniskerry.

A coincidence. I was thinking of getting some flaked barley for a stout and you can but it in the coop in 25kg bags( Red Mills too I think). It's used a lot for horse feed. I can't see why this isn't just regular barley and should be perfectly fine for brewing.
Anyone any knowlage here?

I got in touch with Red mills and they said it is the same flaked product that you would buy in a health food shop. Samesame goes for their other flaked products.

[DEMPSEY]

They are only telling you that so as when you start clucking like a chicken you don't come back trying to sue them.

You sure about this Rossa? I asked a few other people about this and it appears a lot of animal feed grain is acid washed or other wise treated after production.

Rossa doesn't come on here anymore, red mills animal feed is not suitable for human consumption even though we eat the meat of the animal that eats it

[DEMPSEY]

Ah yeah but them animals filter it through their arse's before we gets to ate them.

[DEMPSEY]

One of the saddest animals out their is an intelligent sheep.

[Leann ull]

Pigs Brian, Pigs are hyper intelligent, problem is lovely in a breakfast roll, sheep are only good for riding

I rang Red Mills there and the flaked barley and maize is only steamed and rolled, no acid wash or other additives.

[Leann ull]

Did you get them to confirm that the product is fit for human consumption?
