General Description

Vienna Malt is a form of malted barley that is most commonly used as a Base Malt either on its own or in tandem with another Base to create malty lagers or ales. Most recipes may contain around 75% or more Base Malt whilst the rest is comprised out of different specialty malts.

Characteristics

When used as a base, Vienna malt imparts strong, malty-aromatic characteristics in beer. When isolated Vienna malt will produce a pale-yellow, malty product.

Used primarily as a base in a variety of Lager and Pilsner styles with medium body. When used as a specialty malt, Vienna will help accentuate the maltiness of a brew.
