Lovibond
Lovibond refers to a scale used to measure the color of malt, wort, and beer. It's a visual method, comparing a sample to a series of colored glass discs or color charts. The scale is still widely used, especially for describing the color of malts, and is closely related to the Standard Reference Method (SRM) for measuring beer color. 
Scale from 10°-120°

Weyermann German Pale Wheat Malt is a traditional wheat malt used to create soft, smooth grain character and excellent foam stability in a wide range of beer styles. It contributes subtle bread and biscuit notes along with a light golden color and natural haze, making it especially well suited for Hefeweizens, Gose, Berliner Weisse, and hazy ales. Its balanced wheat profile enhances mouthfeel and body without overwhelming the rest of the grain bill.

This malt provides functional advantages for brewers seeking improved texture, head retention, and structural stability. Its protein content supports dense, long-lasting foam, while its wheat-based composition adds creamy mouthfeel and gentle sweetness. The malt’s ability to develop natural haze makes it useful in both traditional wheat beers and modern hazy IPAs. When used at higher percentages, it forms the core of classic German wheat styles; in smaller amounts, it enhances body in a wide variety of recipes.

Weyermann German Pale Wheat Malt is available milled or unmilled to match different brewing setups. Milled malt is ready for immediate use, while unmilled kernels offer longer storage life and the option for custom milling. Its enzymatic strength allows it to be used as a major portion of the grain bill, supporting up to 80 percent of the mash in styles requiring high wheat content.

To incorporate this malt, add it directly to the grain bill based on the recipe’s requirements. It performs reliably in all-grain and partial mash systems and pairs well with pilsner, Munich, and specialty malts. Its foam-forming properties and smooth grain character support both traditional and hazy beer styles, adding depth and structure without excessive sweetness.

Designed for brewers seeking authentic wheat flavor and reliable performance, Weyermann German Pale Wheat Malt delivers consistent body, haze, and foam quality across a variety of wheat-based beers. Its versatility and stable characteristics make it a valuable ingredient in both classic German and modern craft recipes.
