Emmer is an ancient hulled wheat, also called Triticum dicoccum. It was one of the first domesticated grains, and it was commonly grown in antiquity. Recently, its popularity has increased due to the renewed interest in healthier foods and drinks, as Emmer is relatively lower in gluten and richer in minerals compared to modern wheat. Château Emmer malt is dehusked cereal. It gives a light body, a refreshing character, and aromatic notes of honey to the beer. Its high level of proteins gives the typical turbidity of a wheat beer and enhance head retention. German-style “Emmerbier”, ancient-styles as Gallic or Egyptian beers, or as an option to wheat as an adjunct. Up to 40% of the grain bill.
