German Bestmalz Wheat is the base malt for all wheat beer varieties. It ensures tangy freshness and the typical top-fermented wheat beer taste. It is produced exclusively from high-quality brewing wheat. Compared to BEST Pilsen Malt, the wheat malt has a higher protein content and is therefore suitable for increasing the full-bodiedness and improving the foam in top-fermented beer specialties.
