Torrified Wheat

[Tippler]

I want to try GW's recipe for Pendle Witch, but I see that it includes torrified wheat. I can't get hold of this, easily but I have flaked barley: can I substitute one for the other, and if so, in what ratio?

Put the same amount in, I assume you are doing a Full Mash brew and not and Extract? You could always get some Flaked Wheat from a Health foods shop.

Would I be right in thinking that flaked wheat is much the same as corn flakes? So, on that track, would puffed wheat be a substitute for torrified wheat?

I think its something a few on the forum have done, Sugar puffs are going to have sugars and stuff in them too and I have no idea if they would make your Mash all gummy or not.

Corn flakes are flaked maize, as pdtnc says go for the health food shop no additives.

or try wheat a flakes they also have rice in ( not the white powder poison lol) , 84% wheat and 15% rice I think. Try Tuckers maltings or other good brew shop.

You can also substitute wheat malt for torrefied wheat (at least i hope you can because I do sometimes!). Not sure if thats going to be any easier to find, though.
