White Wheat Malt - Briess

Briess White Wheat Malt helps brewers create beers with lasting foam, smooth body, and subtle wheat sweetness. This light wheat base malt contributes a creamy mouthfeel and mild grain flavor while maintaining a pale straw color, making it a versatile choice for both traditional wheat styles and modern ales. Its ability to enhance head retention and texture makes it valuable in recipes that depend on softness and stability.

With a color rating of approximately 2.5° Lovibond, White Wheat Malt provides gentle sweetness and a clean, malty profile that complements styles such as Hefeweizens, Wits, Wheat Beers, and Cream Ales. It supports fuller body without adding heaviness and improves foam stability, giving finished beers a smooth, cohesive character. Brewers often rely on this malt to reinforce mouthfeel and improve the visual and sensory quality of lighter beers.

White Wheat Malt can be used in small amounts to boost foam retention or incorporated at higher percentages—up to about half of the grain bill—for distinctly wheat-forward styles. It integrates seamlessly with base malts and specialty grains and performs reliably in both ale and lager mash schedules. Its mild flavor allows for flexibility in hop-forward, yeast-driven, or malt-focused recipes.

For brewers seeking improved texture, enhanced foam stability, and a light wheat character that supports a wide range of styles, Briess White Wheat Malt offers consistent performance and balanced flavor contribution.
