Wheat Malt Extract

Muntons Wheat Malt Extract is made from 50% brewing quality wheat malt and 50% low colour spring barley malt. This product is mashed to extract the excess protein in the malted wheat resulting in a high quality malt extract with an increased protein load. It is then concentrated using vacuum evaporation to preserve the composition. It can be used as a base for wheat beers in breweries that struggle with slow runoff when using high amounts of wheat in the mash. At inclusion rates of 2-10% it can be used to increase the protein load of a wort, thus enhancing the body, mouthfeel, head formation and retention of the resulting beer. This product can be used as a direct replacement for wheat malt, torrefied wheat and wheat flakes at a rate of 1:1 replacement. When the product is used as a base material for a wheat beer, we recommend calculating the recipe based on a litre degrees per KG equivalent of 315.
