Stable Haze and Soft Body • Raw Wheat Character • The Hazy Beer EssentialFlaked Wheat is raw, unmalted wheat that has been steamed and rolled flat, prized for the dense, stable haz e and soft, cushioned body it brings to beer. Because it skips the malting process, it keeps more of wheat's native protein — exactly what hazy IPAs, witbiers, and tart wheat beers rely on for their opaque looks and silky texture.With an extract potential of 34 PPG and a color of just 1 °Lovibond, Flaked Wheat adds gravity with virtually no color, keeping pale beers pale while transforming their appearance and mouthfeel. Pre-gelatinized flakes go straight into the mash with no cereal cooking required.Flavor & Aroma Profile Light, raw bready wheat flavor Soft, slightly doughy character Plush, cushioned body Dense, persistent haze Improved foam stability and cling Small additions subtly soften body and boost foam; larger additions build the milky opacity and full, smooth texture that define modern hazy styles and traditional Belgian wits.Brewing ApplicationsFlaked Wheat is a staple ingredient in many hazy and wheat-driven beer styles, including: New England IPA Witbier Berliner Weisse Gose Saison Lambic-inspired Sours It is also handy at low rates in any beer that needs better head retention and a rounder mouthfeel without added flavor or color.Usage RecommendationsFlaked Wheat is typically used at 5–40% of the grain bill. Lower percentages improve foam and add gentle softness, while rates of 20–40% deliver the full haze, body, and raw-wheat character of witbiers and hazy IPAs. Since it has no enzymes, mash it with a base malt that can handle the conversion.For maximum haze, pair it with flaked oats and a low-flocculation hazy yeast, then dry hop generously — the proteins and hop polyphenols do the rest.Specifications PPG (Points Per Pound Per Gallon): 34 Color: 1 °Lovibond Flavor Notes: Haze, soft body, bready Usage Rate: 5–40% of grain bill Beer Styles: NEIPAs, witbiers, Berliner weisses, goses, saisons Whether you're crafting a glowing hazy IPA, an authentic witbier, or a crisp tart wheat, Flaked Wheat provides the stable haze and soft body these styles are built on.
