White Wheat Malt

Price range: $30.00 through $150.00

White wheat, distinct from red wheat varieties, offers distillers a profile that leans towards a softer, slightly sweeter, and often cleaner flavor. This makes it a valuable grain for those seeking to create spirits with a delicate and refined character.

Craft a spirit of unmatched smoothness and subtle sweetness.

While corn brings the robust sweetness and rye brings the spice, White Wheat is the secret weapon for distillers aiming for an exceptionally soft, clean, and approachable spirit profile. Known for its lower tannin content compared to red wheats, white wheat lacks the bitter, astringent edge, making it the premier choice for premium wheats, wheated bourbons, and smooth-sipping moonshines.

Flavor Profile & Distilling Characteristics

White wheat acts as a canvas that softens a mash bill, lending a delicate, creamy texture to the final distillate. When mashed and distilled, it yields:

  • Gentle, Sweet Aromas: Soft notes of freshly baked bread, subtle honey, and light floral undertones.

  • Velvety Mouthfeel: Highly prized for its ability to round out the harsh edges of a spirit, providing a smooth, creamy texture and a clean finish.

  • High Starch Conversion: Packed with readily accessible starches and excellent enzymatic potential (when malted), it dissolves beautifully during the cook, ensuring highly efficient conversion into fermentable sugars.

Why Choose White Wheat for Distilling?

If you are formulating a premium wheated bourbon—where wheat replaces rye as the secondary grain—white wheat is the gold standard. It allows the natural sweetness of your corn to shine through while imparting a soft, pillowy mouthfeel. It is equally exceptional when used as the base for a smooth, traditional wheat whiskey or a neutral grain spirit that requires a naturally mellow character right off the still.

Product Specifications:

  • Variety: Premium Soft White Wheat (Triticum aestivum)

  • Type: 100% Non-GMO, clean, high-starch distilling grain

  • Best Used For: Wheated Bourbons, Wheat Whiskies, Smooth Moonshines, and Vodka

  • Source: Meticulously sourced and triple-cleaned to protect your mill and mash

Distiller’s Note: Because white wheat has a softer kernel and lacks a hull, it mills easily but can become sticky in the mash tun if used in high percentages. We recommend maintaining precise temperature control during your rest to fully unlock its smooth, sweet potential without the sticky cleanup.
