Description

2.3 °L - Briess Malting - Use as part or all of base malt in wheat beers. Runs efficiently through the brewhouse with slightly higher protein than White Wheat Malt. Often used in Hefeweizen and other traditional wheat styles due to a distinctive, characteristic creamy, sweet, wheat flour flavor. Improves head and foam retention in any beer style.

Bust out the DME!
I should of listen more to the other review that stated poor efficiency with this grain. My numbers also came out low. I don't know if it was this particular crop or how it was stored but I got very little conversion and had to compensate with adding DME. For some reason so far I have had some bad luck with Briess grains. I know this because I always get good efficiency with the other brand I mostly use. So hmm?

Poor efficiency
This batch of wheat malt didn't mash in well. I made standard Hef with 60% wheat malt and mash kept compacting down. Never had that problem so i suspect it was the wheat malt which resulted in a poor efficiency and I had to add 1-1/4 DME to 5 gal batch to compensate

Nice product, lighter in color and more affordable than white wheat
I would have to compare this side by side with white wheat to really know the flavor difference, but from my experience it's minimal. I have use both with great results. This is actually lighter than white wheat and works great with pilsen malt for a light and crisp american wheat. I like to add fruit after cold crashing and racking to secondary. I have also used it in a NEIPA thats currently bubbling away. Briess is yet to disappoint!

Prefer the flavor of this to regular wheat
I like the extra flavor this seems to get over the regular white wheat. Not for all beers like a paler wheat beer perhaps but nice for the maltier Dunkelweisens and Rye Bocks I've been experimenting with.
