Flaked Wheat
Unmalted cereal for increased body and head retention.
Description
This cereal imparts more intense – spicy and bready – flavours than the malted wheat. Flaked wheat ensures a hazy beer.
Flaked grains are not malted at all. This means they don’t include any enzymes to break down their starch, so they are only used to add that little extra to your beer. Luckily they can utilize the enzymes from the base malt.
Usage
Witbier, Wheat Beer, NEIPA, Hazy IPA.
