Bestmalz Vienna Malt 8-10 EBC

Bestmalz Vienna Malt is a high-quality base malt that delivers a rich golden colour and a smooth, malty character. Kilned slightly darker than Pilsner malt, it provides enhanced body and depth while maintaining excellent fermentability.

With a colour range of 8–10 EBC, Vienna malt contributes a warm amber hue and a balanced flavour profile with notes of light toast, biscuit, and gentle sweetness. It is widely used as a base malt or as part of a grain bill to add complexity and fullness to a variety of beer styles.

This malt is ideal for brewers looking to create clean, malt-forward beers with a refined, slightly toasty backbone.
