Viking Wheat Malt - 3.5-6.5 EBC - 25 kg

Wheat Malt is made from high quality wheat. Varieties suitable for the brewing purposes are used. The malting process does not differ much from pilsner malt production. Final air-on temperature is normally 72–80 C.

Applications
Wheat Malt is used mainly for wheat beers and some other top fermented beers. Wheat Malt is also used for lager beers for flavor enrichment and to improve foam stability. Typical rate of usage is around 50% of the grist for wheat beers and appr. 20% for the premium lagers.

Did you know?
Wheat malt, as opposed to barley malts, has no husk, which usually makes the filtration of wheat beers more difficult. Wheat also has a higher protein content than barley, which actually positively impacts the beer’s head retention.
