Vienna Malt
A malt for lagers and amber beers, kilned to a deeper golden colour and a richer malt character than our base malts, with notes of bread crust, biscuit and light caramel. It keeps enough enzymatic activity to be used at high rates, or as the base malt where a fuller malt character is wanted.
