Durstmalz | Vienna Malt | per lb

Durstmalz Vienna Malt is a classic German base malt that provides a rich, balanced malt character with gentle bread, toast, and biscuit-like notes. Kilned darker than Pilsner malt but lighter than Munich malt, Vienna is an excellent middle ground for brewers looking to add more malt flavor and warm color without creating an overly heavy or intensely malty beer.

Durstmalz Vienna contributes a beautiful golden-to-amber color along with a smooth, rounded malt profile. Its subtle toasted character works especially well in traditional European lagers, where it provides noticeable malt depth while maintaining the clean, highly drinkable character of the finished beer.

Vienna malt can be used as a major portion of the grain bill for malt-forward lagers and ales or blended with Pilsner malt to add additional color, body, and malt complexity. Smaller additions are also useful for bringing a touch of bread and toast character to otherwise pale recipes.
