Product Overview


Rahr Red Wheat Malt is a high-quality base grain produced from select North American red winter wheat. It provides a more pronounced, "wheatier" flavor than white wheat, contributing notes of fresh bread and a slight nuttiness. With high protein content and high enzymatic power, it is essential for producing the creamy mouthfeel and stable foam head required for Hefeweizens, Witbiers, and Hazy IPAs. It also aids in the breakdown of proteins for improved wort clarity in multi-grain mashes.

Brewery Mash Tip: Red Wheat lacks a husk; if your grist contains more than 30-40% wheat, add rice hulls to the mash to ensure a smooth sparge and prevent a stuck mash. Mash at 150-152°F (65-66°C) for the best balance of sugar extraction and mouthfeel. Its high protein levels make it a perfect addition to any beer where you want to enhance head retention.
