Torrified Wheat 1OZ - OiO
Torrified Wheat Malt from OiO is a type of malt made by heat-treating raw wheat kernels to pop them, much like popcorn. This process gelatinizes the starches, making them more accessible during the mashing process, thus improving the efficiency of the extraction. Torrified Wheat Malt contributes a light, grainy, wheaty flavor to the beer and enhances the beer's body and mouthfeel. It can also aid in head retention due to the increased protein content from the wheat.
