The preferred base malt for adjunct-based beers such as American Lagers, high gravity lagers and American Wheat beer. Clean in flavor and high in enzymes. This malt is best used when brewing with high quantities of adjuncts, such as oats, corn or rice. Useful during the lautering process for wheat beers because its husk content is high. Since it is high in protein (~12.5%), its use can result in increased break and haze. A protein rest is recommended.
