Flaked (or rolled) wheat is an unmalted wheat product that has been steam-treated and rolled into thin flakes. It is widely used by brewers to improve head retention, body, and haze, rather than to contribute strong malt flavour.

What flaked wheat adds to beer

Improved head retention

• One of its biggest benefits.
• The proteins in wheat help create a dense, long-lasting foam.

Fuller body and mouthfeel

• Gives the beer a smoother, creamier texture.
• Makes lighter beers feel less thin.

Permanent haze

• Produces the characteristic cloudy appearance in styles such as:
  • Belgian Witbier
  • New England IPA
  • Wheat beers

Because  the grain is unmalted, It does not possess the  enzymes required for conversion to sugars, so it must be mashed with base malts.
