I heard that some flaked grains require boiling to gelatinise the starches before they can be mashed.
I am in the process of brewing an oatmeal stout. Does anyone know if flaked barley and flaked oats can be mashed as normal, or if pre-boiling is required?
Also, what is the difference between Instant, raw, rolled, and flaked oats, and can they all be mashed as normal?
