Forgot Torrified Wheat

[Evoflash]

So I forgot to get torrified wheat for a Black Sheep Best recipe I got from the CAMRA book. I'm just going to press on, but should I expect anything other loss of head retention?

Have you brewed it yet? You could always sub the torrified wheat with another wheat product e.g. malted wheat or flaked wheat. The flavour might be slightly different but it will still be good beer with typical wheat characteristics such as improved head retention. Graham mentions in the book that it's possible to use different adjuncts with small differences in taste.

I have to admit though that I have no access to torrified wheat so use malted wheat or flaked wheat in recipies where it's specified.

Hi Jason,

I'm mashing now without any wheat. Let's see how it goes. I'm sure it'll taste good

I've used plain ol' domestic flour (max 200g) many times to good effect and with no problems/detriment whatsoever...

Shredded wheat is also an option for the future.

I'm sure it will. Good luck with the rest of the brew
