Flaked Wheat 5 kg
Flaked Wheat is the go-to adjunct for brewers crafting hazy, protein-rich beers with exceptional head retention and a soft, pillowy mouthfeel. Pre-gelatinised and ready for direct mashing, this 5 kg bag delivers all the benefits of raw wheat without the lautering challenges.
Wheat is naturally high in protein and gluten, creating the persistent, fine-bubbled foam and characteristic haze that define many sought-after modern beer styles. In hazy IPAs and NEIPAs, flaked wheat is used alongside flaked oats to build the signature suspended-protein haze and "orange juice" appearance.
