Flaked wheat adds to increased body and foam retention. It is hot-rolled during the flaking process so does not need cereal mashed. Flaked wheat produces less sweet, and fuller-bodied beers, compared to malted wheat. It is not malted and contains no inherrant diastatic power so will require high DP malts to be used alongside it. Used at rates up to 50% to improve head retention and body in Witbier and Weissbier styles.
