Description

How to Use Château Wheat Crystal

Perfect for adding depth to wheat-based beers, Château Wheat Crystal is recommended for up to 20% of the grain mix, adding nuanced colour and flavour without overpowering the malt base. It’s especially suited for Belgian Witbier, Hefeweizen, Kristallweizen, Dunkelweizen, and Weizenbock styles.

Flavour Profile

With rich, roasted tones, Château Wheat Crystal brings a character of cooked wheat and corn flakes, with light coffee and biscuit-like hints that deepen a beer’s aroma and taste profile.

Enzymatic Activity

This malt exhibits lower enzymatic activity, making it an excellent complement in recipes where enzyme-rich base malts are present.

Mashing

Best mashed with other high-activity malts for full conversion, Château Wheat Crystal enhances the overall body and complexity without affecting mash efficiency.

Combining with Other Malts

Château Wheat Crystal is well-paired with Pilsner, Pale, or other base malts, adding depth without overshadowing the primary malt flavours.

Benefits of Château Wheat Crystal

Its rich roast and unique aromatic properties not only bring complexity but also enhance colour and mouthfeel. This malt is versatile across a wide variety of wheat beers and specialty brews.
