Taste & Character
Weyermann® Dark Wheat Malt is a specialty malt designed to bring depth and richness to wheat beer recipes. With a color range of 6.5–8.5 Lovibond, it imparts deep amber to reddish-brown hues while contributing flavors of bread, nuts, and caramel. Its wheat base ensures a smooth, full-bodied malt character that enhances drinkability.
Where It Shines
This malt is ideal for Dunkelweizens, Weizenbocks, and other darker wheat beer styles that require a robust malt backbone. It also works well in experimental or hybrid wheat ales, providing color, complexity, and a balanced sweetness.
Role in the Brewhouse
Weyermann® Dark Wheat Malt enhances foam stability, body, and mouthfeel, ensuring a well-rounded drinking experience. It integrates seamlessly with base and specialty malts to add richness and complexity without overshadowing yeast-driven wheat beer characteristics.
Brewer’s Guidance
Use Dark Wheat Malt at 10–50% of the grist depending on the desired flavor and color intensity. Lower percentages provide subtle nutty and caramel notes, while higher additions create the foundation for bold, malt-forward wheat styles.
