In various books passing mention is made of using the above breakfast cereals in place of flaked maize and rice.....any use or best saved for brekkie ?
 
corn flakes are not quite the same thing as flaked maize
and rice cripies have some added things I anot sure you want in your brew

also cornflakes have added vitamins as do rice cripies

get the proper stuff if you can
 
By weight its probably cheaper to use homebrewshop bought grains.
However I have used pretty much every cereal out of a packet and to be honest they produced some quaffable ales.

Try some and see for yourself.

The kids might complain when they have to have toast :)
 
When there was a shortage of flaked maize several years ago, before on-line buying, my LHBS recomended only using cornflakes from health food shops as they had nothing added.
 
I would think they would need a cereal mash to be fefmentable, but maybe good as an adjunct. I've thrown quaker oats in a brew to good effect!
 
I roasted Quaker oats and added to my stout too and that was fine.
Just out of interest i thought vitamin B1 was the nutrient for yeast and not vitamin D????
