Product Details

Taste & Character

Rahr Red Wheat Malt is produced from North American hard red spring wheat, offering a rich wheaty flavor with notes of fresh bread and subtle nuttiness. With a color of approximately 2.3 Lovibond, it imparts a pale to light golden hue while adding depth and complexity to a wide variety of beer styles.

Where It Shines

This malt is a key ingredient in American Wheat Beers, Belgian Wheat Beers, and Hefeweizens. It also works well in Pale Ales, IPAs, and other recipes where a touch of wheat character enhances body and balance. Its versatility allows it to be used in both traditional wheat-heavy styles and as a complementary grain in hop-forward or malt-forward ales.

Role in the Brewhouse

With higher protein content than barley, Red Wheat Malt improves head formation and retention while enhancing foam stability. It contributes a fuller mouthfeel and increased body, producing a more satisfying and rounded drinking experience. As a well-modified malt, it supports efficient starch conversion and consistent performance during mashing.

Brewer’s Guidance

Use Rahr Red Wheat Malt at varying percentages depending on style—up to 50% or more in wheat beers for traditional character, or smaller amounts in Pale Ales and IPAs to add complexity, head retention, and mouthfeel. It performs well in both single-infusion and step-mash processes, offering flexibility across brewing systems.
