I fear I've bought the wrong stuff

Post by booldawg » Fri Feb 15, 2008 8:35 pm

I'm hoping to make up a recipe that requires Torrefied Wheat which I'll just add to the mash tun. I'm not sure if I've bought the right stuff (image as below) Sorry pic is a bit blurry, it says 'Unmalted Adjuncts' on the packet

Don't worry, that is the genuine article you have there.

Adjunct is a term used for a "non malt", or unmalted grain products in the brewing world. Other examples are flaked maize, flaked barley, sugar, etc.

I believe that Torrified Wheat is produced by heating the wheat up until it "pops", in a similar way to popcorn, although I may stand to be corrected on this.

I usually use a small amount of this myself in my mash tun, around the 4% mark, purely for head retention.

Thanks HH. Panic over and AG#2 can go ahead, possibly at the weekend. I was 'torrefied' I'd wasted my hard earned cash! It'd wouldve served me right as I pulled a massive swifty in works time in a works vehicle to get to LHBS under false pretences :wink:
