Taste & Character

Viking Wheat Malt is a versatile malt that contributes a light color and a grainy, slightly sweet flavor. It enhances body, foam stability, and mouthfeel while also imparting a hazy appearance and smooth texture, making it a valuable ingredient across both traditional and modern beer styles.

Where It Shines

This malt is essential for classic wheat beers such as Hefeweizens, Belgian Witbiers, and Dunkelweizens. It is also increasingly popular in modern hazy beers like NEIPAs, where its proteins and texture support haze stability and a silky mouthfeel.

Role in the Brewhouse

Viking Wheat Malt provides higher protein content than barley malt, which boosts foam retention and mouthfeel while encouraging haze formation. It pairs well with base malts and specialty grains, offering flexibility in creating both traditional and experimental recipes.

Brewer’s Guidance

Use Wheat Malt at 5–70% of the grist depending on style and recipe goals. Smaller additions enhance body and head retention, while larger percentages are required for authentic wheat beers and hazy ales. Consider adding rice hulls to prevent lautering issues at higher usage rates.
