Briess Midnight Wheat Malt is a sophisticated and innovative addition to the brewer's toolkit, crafted with precision by Briess Malting Company, an esteemed name in brewing since 1876. This specialty malt introduces a unique and intense dark color without the astringency associated with traditional dark malts.

Derived from premium American 2-row barley, Briess Midnight Wheat Malt undergoes a distinctive roasting process, resulting in a Lovibond color of approximately 550L. Despite its dark hue, this malt is surprisingly smooth, providing a deep, rich color without the harsh, roasted bitterness.

The flavor profile of Briess Midnight Wheat Malt is characterized by subtle roastiness and a hint of unsweetened cocoa. It is an ideal choice for brewers crafting dark beers, such as stouts and porters, where a smooth and mellow roasted character is desired without overwhelming the palate.

As a versatile malt, Briess Midnight Wheat allows brewers to achieve a range of dark colors without the astringency associated with other dark malts. It can be used in varying quantities to tailor the level of color and flavor intensity in the final brew, providing flexibility and control in recipe formulation.

In the brewing process, the smooth and refined qualities of Briess Midnight Wheat Malt are transferred to the beer, creating a velvety texture and contributing to the overall complexity of the brew. It allows brewers to achieve the desired darkness in their beers while maintaining a balanced and approachable profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer grain milling services?

Yes, we provide grain milling services free of charge before shipping. To have your grain milled, please select the "Yes, please mill my grain" option on each grain product before adding it to your cart. We use a high-end, 3-roller mill from Spike, set to a standard gap of 4.5, which achieves optimal cracking while minimizing excessive flour. If you prefer a coarser or finer mill, leave a note in the shopping cart, and we’ll adjust it to your preference.

If we notice that most grains were selected for milling but a few were not, we will assume it was an oversight and mill all of them. If your intention is different, please clarify in the shopping cart notes section.

How do you ensure accuracy when weighing grains?

We take great care to ensure that you receive the correct grains in the exact quantities needed for your recipe. Our multi-step process ensures precision, starting with weighing each grain type individually to an accuracy of 0.08 ounces. After that, we perform a final check by weighing the combined total to confirm accuracy. Your total grain weight will always be slightly over the ordered amount, never under, and always within an acceptable range for even the most detail-oriented brewers (like ourselves).

How are grains packaged before shipment?

We provide a convenient recipe-building tool to streamline the process for you, our team, and the environment. We encourage you to use this tool to build your recipes, ensuring you get exactly what you’ve ordered in the correct quantities. By combining all the grains for a single recipe into one bag, we help speed up your brew day, reduce packaging waste, and save time during order fulfillment. Rest assured, we prioritize accuracy when measuring and packing your grains.
