Flavour and description
Wheat malt is made from high quality wheat. Varieties suitable for brewing purposes are used. The malting process does not differ much from pilsner malt production. Final air-on temperature is normally between 72–80 °C. Wheat malt is used mainly for wheat beers and some other top-fermented beers. Typical rate of usage is around 50% of the grist for wheat beers and approximately 20% for premium lagers.
