Vienna Malt - Castle (Château)

Castle (Chateau) Malted Grains Vienna Malt

Belgian Vienna Base Malt. Lightly kilned at up to 85-90 degrees Celsius with shorter "cure" duration. It will impart a richer flavor of malt and grain than Pilsen amlt and adds subtle aromas of caramel and tofee. It is kilned at slightly higher temperatures than Pilsen malt and as a result it gives a deeper golden color to the beer increasing at the same time its body and fullness. Due to the higher kilning temperature the enzyme activity of Vienna Malt is slightly lower than that of Pilsen malt. Nevertheless, it has sufficient enzymatic activity to be used in combination with a large portion of specialty malts.
