For a version of British style Wheaton Ale, specify a malt bill with 57.7% UK Pale ale malt, 17.3% Flaked Wheat, 9.5% German Munich Malt, 6.9% Torrified Wheat, 4.7% German Carafoam, and 4% German Acid Malt if necessary. If further acidification is not required, replace the Acid Malt with UK Pale Malt. O.G. 1.046 F.G. 1.012
