Briess Torrified Red Wheat 50 Lb

Briess Torrified Red Wheat is a high-quality malt for beer making. It is a quick-germinating malt that adds a distinct flavor and aroma to beer. This malt is toasted, which gives it a roasted, slightly nutty flavor. The toasting process also increases the grain's enzymatic capabilities, which helps with the mashing process. Briess Torrified Red Wheat adds a unique complexity to your beer, and is a great choice for wheat beers, Belgian White Ales, and other wheat-based styles. It is also perfect for adding head retention and body to your beer. Whether you're making a wheat beer or something else, Briess Torrified Red Wheat is sure to give your beer the flavor and aroma you're looking for.

Briess Crushed Torrified Red Wheat 50 Lbs has been heat treated to break the cellular structure, allowing for rapid hydration and allows malt enzymes to more completely convert the starches and proteins. It can be used in place of raw wheat in Belgian style Wit-Beers, also very good for adding body and head, especially to English ales. Since it has not been malted, you can't sub it for malted wheat. Therefore, it needs to be mashed with a diastatic malt in order to convert the starches.
