Spitting Feathers – Torrified Wheat, 500g

£1.75


UK MAINLAND ONLY
Scotland and Northern Ireland Call

Torrified Wheat is used to give all types of beers good head retention and lacing qualities and should not exceed 10% of total malt content of your brew.

The exception to this rule are the famous Belgian Wheat Beers (Wit-bier’s) where Torrified Wheat can make up to 1/3 or more of the total malt content of the brew.

This grain has a colour of between 3.5 and 4.5 EBC’s and is supplied ready crushed in 500gm packs.

HOW TO CALCULATE THE ABV (Alcohol By Volume) for Beers and Ales

1 – If you use 1kg of spitting Feathers’ brewing sugar you will produce a good quality beer with avg of 4.5 to 5% ABV.

OR

2 – If you were to use 1kg (2x500gs) of dry malt extract (DME) – the colour appropriate to the type of beer (see colour guide below), you will produce a beer slightly higher in ABV yet at the same time retaining its body.

OR The Spitting-Feathers’ RECOMMENDATION!

3 – However, we recommend to you, to use 1.5kg of unhopped liquid malt extract (LME) – again the colour appropriate to the type of beer being made (see colour guide below).

The use of a LME will undoubtedly produce a beer of pure quality, depth, body and flavour than options 1 or 2 above. The ABV will be determined by the use of a hydrometer
