Wheat Malts

Wheat is a more difficult grain to malt than barley as it has no husk.

It is also more difficult to mash for the same reason. German Weissbier brewers use up to 70% wheat malt in their grist, but 50% is a more realistic proportion for the home brewer.

Wheat malt is an excellent adjunct in many types of beer as it promotes head formation and retention.
