Unmalted Wheat

Belgian Witbier

€0.40per 100g

Unmalted wheat is the secret ingredient behind the classic hazy, refreshing character of Belgian Witbier. Unlike malted wheat, this is raw, unprocessed grain that imparts a unique texture and flavor to the beer.

Using unmalted wheat provides the beer with its characteristic light haze, a smooth, silky body, and a subtle, bready-grainy flavor that doesn't overpower the delicate notes of coriander and orange peel. The high protein content of this grain also contributes to a dense and persistent head.

This ingredient is a must-have for any brewer aiming to recreate an authentic Belgian Witbier or to add complexity and body to other styles, such as Lambics.
