Weyermann® Vienna Malt Weyermann® Vienna Malt is a classic German base malt that gives beer a warm golden color and a round, elegant malt profile. Made in Bamberg, Germany, this Vi enna malt typically falls in the 2.7 to 3.8°L range and brings a smooth combination of toasted bread crust, light biscuit, and gentle honey-like malt sweetness. It is one of the easiest ways to add more malt depth than Pilsner malt without pushing a recipe into the richer, darker territory of Munich. Where Vienna malt fits best This is the backbone malt for Vienna lager, but it is just as useful in Märzen, Festbier, amber lagers, bocks, altbier, and plenty of ales that need a little more malt character and color. Used on its own, it creates a clean, bready, malt-forward base. Used alongside Pilsner malt, it adds depth and color without making the beer feel heavy. Many brewers also like Vienna malt in pale ales and farmhouse-style recipes when they want a slightly fuller, toastier impression than standard 2-row provides. What to expect in the brewhouse German base malt made from barley Typical color range: 2.7 to 3.8°L Flavor profile: toasted bread, light biscuit, soft malt sweetness Works as a base malt and can be used for a large share of the grist Why brewers keep it around Vienna malt is one of those grains that earns a permanent spot in a lot of breweries because it is so flexible. It can be the main character in a traditional lager or a supporting player that quietly improves body, color, and malt expression in a wide range of recipes. If a recipe feels too pale, too lean, or just a little one-dimensional, Vienna malt is often the fix. Available by the ounce for recipe design or in full 55 lb bags for brewers who use it often.
