Ferulic acid is generally more efficiently extracted from a combination of 70% barley malt and 30% wheat malt (not raw wheat) despite sudies showing that barley malt often contains more ferulic acid than wheat malt (see [https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/2053354874692716/ this MTF thread] that explains why this is) <ref>[https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/jib.189 Enhancing the levels of 4‐vinylguaiacol and 4‐vinylphenol in pilot‐scale top‐fermented wheat beers by response surface methodology.
