Hi All.
I just have a quick couple of questions about using grains that are unmalted.
How are they useful? If they are unmalted then there would be no starch available to convert? If you can use unmalted grains then why bother malting?
How do they enhance flavour? What do they add to the profile of a beer?
A post that I put up about 5 mins ago in regards to Hoegaarden yielded this link (thanks for that BTW): http://www.homebrewtalk.com/wiki/index.php...ian_Style_Wheat
After reading it I noticed it said to use unmalted wheat.
Thank you.
