Description

Dark wheat malt - Weyermann

Dark Wheat malt is a gently kilned malt made from high-quality German wheat. It contributes a mild golden colour to wort and a robust malty-sweet flavour with notes of bread, biscuit, toffee, and caramel. Wheat malts are high in protein, which helps produce fuller-bodied beers. Wheat malt can also improve head formation and retention, depending upon the other grist constituents. In top-fermented beers, Dark Wheat malt performs especially well, adding creaminess, body, and complex wheat flavours. Dark Wheat malt has a somewhat 'drier', more complex character than pale wheat malts.
