White Wheat malt is a special type of wheat used in brewing beer. Unlike raw wheat, White Wheat malt adds a unique malty flavor that ranges from sweet to wheaty and floury. It imparts a deep golden to brown color to the beer, making it visually appealing. When making wheat and weizen beers, brewers typically use White Wheat malt in the mash, with 40 to 60 percent being the usual amount for wheat beers. Combining it with a high enzyme malt, like two-row, enhances the brewing process. One interesting feature of White Wheat malt is its ability to improve head retention in beer without altering the final flavor significantly. Brewers often add small amounts, typically ranging from 3 to 6 percent, to achieve this effect. This makes White Wheat malt versatile, as it can be incorporated into various beer styles. In terms of taste, White Wheat malt contributes to a light and crisp flavor in the finished beer. This makes it a popular choice for wheat beers like hefeweizens and witbiers. However, its utility is not limited to these styles; it can also be used in other beer varieties such as pale ales and Belgian-style brews. Overall, White Wheat malt brings a distinct character to the brewing process, offering both flavor enhancement and visual appeal to a wide range of beer styles.
