Great Western | Vienna Malt | per lb

Great Western Malting Vienna Malt is a flavorful base malt that adds rich malt character, light biscuit notes, and warm golden-to-amber color to beer. More flavorful than a standard American 2-Row but less intense than a typical Munich malt, Vienna is an excellent choice when you want to build malt complexity without making the beer overly heavy or sweet.

Its balanced combination of toasty, bready, and light biscuit-like malt flavors provides additional depth while remaining smooth enough to support hops, yeast character, and specialty grains. This makes Great Western Vienna especially useful for amber lagers and ales where malt character should be noticeable but still balanced.

Vienna malt can be used as a significant portion of the grain bill to create a fuller, malt-forward beer or blended with 2-Row, Pilsner, or other base malts to add color, body, and malt complexity. Even a moderate addition can bring extra depth to recipes that would otherwise rely entirely on a pale base malt.
