That short rest leaves the kernel rich in proteins and beta-glucans, making it a powerhouse for foam stability, mouthfeel, and stable haze while staying nearly invisible in flavor and color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an extract potential of 37 PPG and a color of just 1.7 °Lovibond, Great Chit contributes real gravity alongside its textural benefits, all while keeping even the palest beer pale. It does the job of flaked adjuncts with the convenience of malted barley in the mill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFlavor \u0026amp; Aroma Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutral, near-transparent flavor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDense, persistent foam and lacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuller, rounder mouthfeel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStable, lasting haze contribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery light raw-grain freshness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall additions quietly upgrade foam and body in crisp lagers; larger additions build the plush texture and stable opacity that hazy IPAs depend on — all without the doughy flavor heavier wheat additions can bring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBrewing Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreat Chit is a staple ingredient in texture-driven and foam-critical beer styles, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew England IPA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHazy Pale Ale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePilsner and Craft Lager\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaison\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWitbier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCream Ale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is also a clever substitute for flaked wheat or oats when you want the same protein lift with better lauterability and local craft-malt provenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUsage Recommendations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreat Chit is typically used at 5–15% of the grain bill. Around 5% delivers a clear boost in foam and mouthfeel for lagers and pales, while 10–15% provides the protein backbone for a soft, stably hazy IPA. Its low modification means it relies on your base malt's enzymes for conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor maximum haze, pair it with heavy late and dry hopping — the chit proteins bind hop polyphenols into the stable, glowing opacity hazy-beer drinkers expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePPG (Points Per Pound Per Gallon): 37\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: 1.7 °Lovibond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlavor Notes: Body, head retention, mouthfeel, haze, neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsage Rate: 5–15% of grain bill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeer Styles: NEIPAs, hazy pales, pilsners, saisons, witbiers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you're crafting a pillowy hazy IPA, a lager with a cap of mousse-like foam, or any beer that needs better texture, Great Chit provides craft-malted body, foam, and haze without changing how your beer tastes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clawhammer Supply","offers":[{"title":"4 oz","offer_id":46064916168902,"sku":null,"price":0.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 oz","offer_id":46064916234438,"sku":null,"price":1.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":45930632020166,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb","offer_id":45935196635334,"sku":null,"price":14.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 lb","offer_id":45933722861766,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0054\/6682\/files\/great-chit-riverbend.png?v=1781146103","url":"https:\/\/www.clawhammersupply.com\/products\/great-chit","provider":"Clawhammer Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
