Avangard wheat malts are made from the finest winter wheat grown in Germany, France or Denmark. Wheat malt can be used up to 100% for wheat beers. It can also be used up to 25% for other top fermented German beers such as Kolsch and Alt styles. Due to the high pentosan content of wheat and the low free amino level an intense decoction mashing procedure starting at 45-50° C and passing through 55°C, 65°C, 68°C, and 72°C is recommended.
