Viking produces it with oak from northeastern Poland and keeps the processing temperature low enough to preserve useful enzymatic activity. The result behaves much like a pale wheat base malt, but with a clean smoke character built into the grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis malt is closely associated with Grodziskie, the light Polish wheat beer known for its oak-smoke character and high carbonation. It can also add a measured layer of smoke to wheat beer, saison, porter, stout, historical beer, and other specialty recipes without the heavier profile associated with some beechwood-smoked barley malts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlavor and brewing contribution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmoke character:\u003c\/strong\u003e delicate oak smoke with a clean, restrained profile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrain character:\u003c\/strong\u003e pale wheat malt with mild grainy and malty notes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e up to 4.3 Lovibond (10 EBC), so it can build smoke without making the beer dark.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtract:\u003c\/strong\u003e minimum 81% fine-grind extract on a dry basis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtein:\u003c\/strong\u003e maximum 13.5% on a dry basis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal phenols:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-10 ppm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use smoked wheat malt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMash it with the rest of the grist. For Grodziskie and other smoke-forward wheat beers, it can make up a substantial part of the recipe. For porter, stout, saison, or experimental beer, use a smaller portion and adjust future batches to taste. Smoke perception varies widely, so a restrained first batch is the safest approach when you do not already know the malt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWheat malt has no husk. Recipes with a high percentage of smoked wheat can form a compact mash bed and run off slowly. Rice hulls can help keep the grain bed open, but they do not add extract or flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood style matches\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse Viking Smoked Wheat Malt in Grodziskie, smoked wheat beer, historical Polish beer, saison, porter, stout, smoked lager, and specialty beer.
