About
Pre-gelatinised flaked wheat supplied by Gladfield. It adds protein for haze and a soft, full body without contributing much flavour, making it a staple of hazy IPAs and a style contributor in wheat beers. Pre-gelatinised, it is added directly to the mash and relies on the base malt for conversion.

Usage
Add directly to the mash with a diastatic base malt. Typical 5–25% (up to ~40% in wheat-forward styles). Being husk-free it can slow the lauter at high rates — oat or barley hulls help keep runoff flowing.
