Beer Making
Wheat is a more difficult grain to malt than barley as it has no husk. It is also more difficult to mash for the same reason. German Weissbier brewers use up to 70% wheat malt in their grist, but 50% is a more realistic proportion for the home brewer. Wheat malt is an excellent adjunct in many types of beer as it promotes head formation and retention.

Not particularly dark in colour but richer in flavour than the standard Wheat malt. It is only produced in Germany and is used for Weissbiers, Kölsch, Alt and some other top fermented beers. Could be incorporated into many British style recipes, particularly those low in alcohol.
