Torrified wheat. Anyone use it?
Got a deal on some torrified wheat and learned that beer brewers uses it for head retention.
What flavor does it lend in an all grain?

Re: Torrified wheat. Anyone use it?
Bump?
With 6 Honey Bear Bourbons under my belt, I'm going to add it to the recipe for kicks.
Instead of 1lb. each of white, red and pale (3lbs. total)
I'll try 3/4 lbs. each of white, red, pale, and torrified (keeping 3lbs. total)
Thus a comparison can be made.
Hey, a grain bargain is made to take advantage and use up.

Re: Torrified wheat. Anyone use it?
had to google it, so torrified wheat is rolled wheat or course cracked wheat.
It will add wheat flavour i suppose , think makers mark have it in their grain bill.
think a few good vodkas are made with nothign but wheat, converted with enzymes out of a bottle.
I got 30kg of wheat that I'll try to made voddy out of, It's next on the list after a malted wheat.

It's very true, makes a good tasting, economical consistent product.HDNB wrote:Swedish Pride wrote: think a few good vodkas are made with nothign but wheat, converted with enzymes out of a bottle.

Re: Torrified wheat. Anyone use it?
Added the torrified wheat to a Honey Bear run, and then compared it to the straight recipe.
Blind taste: It neither added nor subtracted any discernible flavor.
Maybe why it's not well-known or overwhelmingly used. Live & learn.

Re: Torrified wheat. Anyone use it?
I torrify barley all the time by misting it with water in laundry sprayer about 1 -2 oz per 5 pounds and then hot air pop it at 2 ounces at a time. I hold popper covered until I hear it popping then let it flow out the chute. On barley the result is a white puffed grain seed only along the split but the grain head is larger. I put the result in a brown paper bag lined with paper towels to take the harshness out when I use it to brew beer by rolling it through my mill with a .030 gap. This is a lot cheaper than purchased products. Have fun. Wear gloves if you have soft hands. Works like a charm.

Everything I read about torrified grain leads back to beer brewing.
