Unmalted Wheat Rahr Oz

Rahr Unmalted Wheat is raw wheat grain, providing a strong grain flavor and quite light straw color to the finished beer. Utilized in many traditional Belgian styles, Unmalted wheat contributes flavor, cloudiness, and improves head formation in the finished beer. With starch in the raw grain not gelatinized and the protein content high, unmalted wheat typically requires either a cereal mash and/or protein rest depending on the style of beer.
