Characteristics

Wheat Flaked malt is mostly used to produce the fermentable sugar, body and malt flavour in beer, however when isolated it will produce a very pale, washed out and murky yellow coloured product with strong malty-wheat characteristics.

Used primarily as a base in a variety of Wheat based beers. Can be used as a specialty malt to increase the body and maltiness of a brew.
