Heritage Vienna Malt - Montana Craft Malt

Heritage Vienna Malt

Montana Craft Malt’s Vienna Malt undergoes an intensified kilning process to develop deeper malt complexity while maintaining balance. Similar to British Pale Malt but with a richer, toastier profile, this malt adds layers of bready sweetness, biscuit notes, and a hint of toast.

Vienna Malt can be used at 100% of the grist without overpowering the final beer, making it a great base for dark lagers and amber ales. It also works well in lower percentages to add depth to pale lagers, IPAs, and pale ales.
