​Belgomalt Wheat Malt 4.5 - 5.5 EBC 1 kg

Wheat is malted with a similar malting process to malting barley. Slightly shorter steeping time as the wheat does not contain its husk, and therefore absorbs water at a quicker rate to allow for germination. Germination takes places at high moisture content to allow for higher modification of the malt.

Protein imparts pleasant full mouth feel and improved head stability. Wheat Malt can be added in small amounts to Ales or Lagers to improve head retention and it is the core ingredient for wheat beers.

Similar gelatinisation temperature to pale malt. Contains gluten.

• 4.5 - 5.5 EBC
• 3-6% of the mix to improve head retention, 40-70% for wheat beers combined with base malts
• Usage: Wheat Beers, Weizen, Ales, IPA, American Pale Ale
