I've not got any torrified wheat, and I was wondering if there was a way to substitute it with unmalted wheat. I was planning on doing a partial, which I randomly found online:
INGREDIENTS
1. 1 can of Blackrock Whispering wheat
2. 1.5kg (can) of liquid wheat malt
3. 250g dry wheat malt
3. 30g coriander seeds cracked (boil)
4. 20g dried bitter orange rind (boil)
5. 500g torrefied wheat steeped in 4 litres 70 deg water for 30 mins
6. 3944 Belgian Witbier Yeast (Wyeast) or WLP400 (White Labs Belgian Wit)
7. 14g Fuggles hops @ 10 min
8. 14g East Kent Goldings hops @ 20 min
9. 2g Cumin seed (boil)
As far as I understand it torrified wheat is popped using heat to break the kernel. This also gelatinizes the wheat so that the starches are freed. Should I bother trying to bake the grains in the oven? Or should I do the wheat steep for longer?
