Briess Midnight Wheat is the ultimate choice for adding deep, dark color to beer without the harsh acridity or astringency of standard roasted barleys. Kilned to a massive 550° Lovibond, this malt is produced from wheat, which lacks a husk, resulting in a remarkably smooth and "bitterless" roasted character. It provides subtle notes of roasted flour and coffee, making it the definitive grain for Black IPAs, Schwarzbiers, and any style where an ebony color is desired without an overwhelming "burnt" flavor.

Brewery Mash Tip: Use Midnight Wheat at 1-5% of the total grist for color adjustment, or up to 10% for dark lagers. Because it lacks a husk, it provides a very clean roasted profile. If using in high percentages, consider adding rice hulls to your mash to ensures a smooth sparge. It is highly effective at adding a rich, dark hue while maintaining the delicate hop profile of modern IPAs.
