Weyermann® Pale Wheat Malt – 10 lb Bag – Premium German Brewing Grain

Description

Weyermann® Pale Wheat Malt is the essential base grain for authentic German Hefeweizens, Kristallweizens, and American Wheat Ales. Kilned to a very light 1.5-2.4° Lovibond, it provides a clean, bready flavor with subtle notes of honey and a characteristic creamy mouthfeel. With exceptionally high protein content and high enzymatic power, it is critical for producing the stable, rocky foam head required for wheat-based styles. It also aids in the breakdown of proteins for improved wort clarity in multi-grain mashes.

Brewery Mash Tip: Wheat lacks a husk; if your grist contains more than 30-40% wheat, add rice hulls to the mash to ensures a smooth sparge and prevent a stuck mash. Mash at 150-152°F (65-66°C) for the best balance of sugar extraction and mouthfeel. Its high protein levels make it a perfect addition to any beer where you want to enhance foam stability.
