Gladfield Wheat Malt is essential for creating wheat beers, lending a creamy texture and a light, fluffy head to your brews. It offers a clean, subtle malt flavor with a hint of sweetness, enhancing mouthfeel and head retention. This malt is perfect for brewing Hefeweizens, Witbiers, and adding complexity to any ale or lager.
Sub-Base Malt
Gladfield Wheat Malt is produced from an old English wheat variety that modifies very well, resulting in a higher yield. This malt gives clean light coloured wort. Wheat Malt can be used in many beer styles to add head retention, body and a wheat malty flavour to the finished beer.
All the wheat grain that we use on our Wheat Malt is single sourced from the Birkett Family from Leeston, Canterbury.
Use: For making wheat beers and to add body and head retention.
