chocolate wheat malt?

Post by beer gut » Tue Nov 24, 2009 7:22 pm

Hi everyone i have a question about chocolate wheat malt.My question is can you use this malt in porters and stouts? Or is it only used for dark wheat beers? Also does this malt work work in the same way as the light coloured wheat malt in helping with the head of the ale and with retaining the head of the ale.Iam planning on using this malt in my chocolate cherrey belgin style porter, any advice on this malt or if anybody has used this malt before and could share there thoughts and experiances on this malts would be fab. :D :D

I don't see why not.
I am going to brew a porter with this malt tomorrow. I didn't think about wheat malt helping with head retention; that would be an unplanned bonus.
I'm just here for the beer.
