I used to buy 500gm little bags of malted wheat in the local HBS. I think it was from UK.
Was using about 250gms to aid in a nice big puffy head and lacing especially for Belgians.
This latest Weyermann wheat from Darren seems to be super wheat. I used 150gms in an APA and i can get about 5cm of straight tube head out of a nonic before it collapses. The next brew will only have 75gms. That's 333 brews per bag
Anyone else noticed this? Is this a difference between UK & German malts or a freshness deal?
I also mashed at a lower temp than I usually do - maybe that's the cause?
