Rahr Red Wheat is a pale malt derived from North American hard spring red wheat. This malt contributes a sweet, malty flavor characteristic of other malted grains, complemented by a subtle fruitiness and a hint of tartness. Its high protein content is known to enhance the body of beers and can improve head formation and retention, depending on the overall grist composition.
The smaller, harder kernels of red wheat compared to white wheat necessitate careful milling. Rahr Red Wheat is a versatile ingredient, suitable for crafting a wide range of wheat-style beers where its unique flavor profile can shine.
