VIENNA MALT
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Vienna malt is cured at slightly higher temperatures than pilsner malt. Consequently Vienna Malt gives a golden coloured beer and increases body and fullness. Due to the higher curing temperature, the enzyme activity of Vienna Malt is slightly lower than that of Pilsner Malt. Flavour of Vienna malt is subtle including some aromas of caramel and toffee.
APPLICATIONS
Vienna Malt is well suited for relatively pale coloured beers. Typical application is to enhance colour and aroma of light beers. Vienna also has its own beer type, Vienna lager, which is famous for its deep golden colour and malty taste. Vienna malt is a self convertible malt i.e. it can be used alone in brewing process.
