BEST Heidelberg Wheat Malt

BEST Heidelberger Wheat Malt is a particularly light malt and emphasizes the tangy freshness as well as the typical top-fermented wheat beer taste. BEST Heidelberg Wheat Malt is produced from high-quality brewing wheat varieties that have only a limited tendency to color during the malting process. Due to the raw materials used, the protein content is somewhat more moderate than in BEST Wheat Malt.
For pale wheat beers, pale top-fermented beers, pale reduced-alcohol and non-alcoholic beers.
