Avangard Malz Wheat Malt 1 lb

This 1 lb pack of Avangard Malz Wheat Malt is practical brew-day stock for single-batch homebrew and precise specialty or base-malt additions across ales and lagers.

Avangard Malz Wheat Malt is a premium German wheat malt crafted to enhance head retention, body, and smooth wheat character in a wide variety of beer styles. Made from high quality wheat, this malt contributes soft bread dough, light grain, and subtle creamy notes that create a fuller mouthfeel and classic wheat beer profile.

With a color rating of 2.5° Lovibond, Avangard Malz Wheat Malt adds a pale golden color while maintaining a clean, bright appearance in the finished beer. It is commonly used in traditional German Hefeweizen, Dunkelweizen, Belgian Witbier, American Wheat Ales, and hazy IPA recipes where improved foam stability and silky texture are desired.

Wheat malt contains high protein levels that help produce long-lasting foam and a rich mouthfeel, making it an excellent addition for brewers looking to improve beer texture and head formation. It also contributes fermentable sugars during the mash while supporting balanced flavor complexity without overpowering hop or yeast character.

Typical usage ranges from 30% - 70% of the grain bill in wheat beer styles, though smaller additions of 5% - 15% can be used in other ales and lagers to improve body and foam retention. In traditional Hefeweizen recipes, it can be used for up to 70% or more of the mash alongside barley malt and rice hulls for proper lautering performance.

Avangard Malz Wheat Malt delivers dependable extract efficiency, authentic European wheat character, and consistent brewing performance for both homebrewers and professional brewers seeking smooth, refreshing wheat forward beers.
