From wheat field to my beer glass???
I have a huge field of wheat next to my house this year and I was wondering what I needed to do to make it ready to brew with. Not that the farmer is gong to like me taking some of his wheat, but he'll never notice.
Do I simply need to dry it out or are there some other steps I will need to do???
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
hi all,
I do not know much at all about wheat beer. I always heard that the WIT beer, or Belgian white were done with raw wheat, so I have to assume that other wheat beers are malted somehow. I would think that you would have to swipe many of seed heads to make a batch of beer. Farmers kill turkeys, and deer for doing similar things.
good luck,
hi carey,
It has always been my understanding, that flaked grains were heated to the point of "popping" like pop corn. They could then be rolled as in rolled oats, or used as puffed oats, wheat, rice, corn, etc.
As stated before, I tend to use adjuncts sparingly, so I am not an expert on this. You will still need a high modified barley, to add the needed enzymes.
best of luck,
