Spraymalt

[Topcook49]

I'm at the time of this post doing an all grain style wheat beer. I've purchased 500g bag of Spraymalt. Wheat. It states on the packet 'great for all traditional wheat beer styles' Also a replacement for sugar in your brewing. However after a bit of research it appears Spraymalt is an ingredient for kit beers only. Is this assumption correct? If not can I use it in an all grain brew ? If so when is it added, during the boil, after etc.

Why didn't you buy wheat malt or even (flaked) raw wheat? That all goes in the mash (crushed of course).

Spraymalt is DME, and the variety you hold in hand contains between 20 and 60% Wheat, depending on the maltster, the balance coming from Barley (2-row).

Yes, in this case you should add it at the end of the boil, it will boost your gravity a bit. How big is your batch?

Use it. My understanding is that "spray malt" is another name for dry malt extract. Apparently to dry the stuff quickly they spray it to get a fine aerosol.

And like the Lizard said, it's 20 to 60 percent wheat depending on the maltster.

All the Best,

Morning. I purchased crushed wheat and have used it in the brew I've just made. I saw spray malk in the brew shop and thought I'd try it.

Good morning.
The batch I made last evening was 5 gallons. I haven't used the spray malt on this occasion. I would like to try it in my next batch. I enjoyed experimenting with recipies. I use Dave Line,s book Brewing Beers like those you buy. Printed in 1984, as a guide. All been OK up to now.

You can use it to make wheat beers (basically what we call extract brewing), you can use it to increase the gravity of your AG brews (for example if you missed your OG), and you can use it to make yeast starters. Alot of uses
