Description
Hvete Pale Malt 25 kg – Norwegian wheat malt from Bonsak
Hvete Pale is the malted version of Bonsak’s unmalted wheat Rå Ellvis, made at Bonsak Gårdsmalteri in Skogn in Trøndelag, Norway. Thanks to Bonsak’s own kilning profile it is slightly darker than normal wheat malt. It gives a very malty grain flavour with a distinct nuttiness and slight creaminess. The residual proteins improve head retention, build a silky, full-bodied mouthfeel and contribute to haze.
Please note: This product is only available in Norway.

Frequently asked questions about Hvete Pale
How much Hvete Pale can I use?
Bonsak states a maximum of 50% of the grist. It suits American Wheat, Belgian wit, hefeweizen, dunkelweizen, weizenbock and fruit beers, and many other styles at lower rates.
Do I need rice hulls when brewing with Hvete Pale?
Wheat malt has a high level of unmodified protein and no husk, so the mash can become stuck. Bonsak recommends rice hulls to help lautering when Hvete Pale makes up more than 30% of the grist.
What is floor-malted malt?
In floor malting the grain germinates in a layer on a floor and is turned during the process, instead of in large, enclosed industrial plants. Bonsak uses this traditional method because, according to the maltings, it gives more depth of flavour and aroma.
Can I buy smaller quantities?
Yes. Hvete Pale is also sold per 100 g, so you can buy exactly the amount your recipe needs.
