We sell our grain in one-ounce increments and by the bulk bag, allowing you to buy exactly what you need for your recipes. We accurately weigh out your selected grain and offer two convenient bagging options. To get the best pricing, we encourage you to use our Grain Bill selection radial buttons (Recipe #1, 2, or 3)—this lets us combine your selected grains into a single bag, reducing labor and packaging costs, with savings passed on to you. If you prefer each grain variety bagged separately, we’re happy to accommodate, though an additional fee applies due to the extra handling required. We also offer free milling upon request!

Rich and Toasty Base Malt for Balanced, Malt-Forward Beers

Gambrinus Vienna Malt is a versatile base malt that brings a rich, toasty malt character to your brews. Known for its smooth malt sweetness and mild caramel flavors, this malt is perfect for creating balanced, malt-forward beers with a golden to amber hue. Gambrinus Vienna Malt provides a slightly more intense flavor than pale malt but remains balanced enough to allow other ingredients to shine, making it a great choice for a variety of beer styles.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Gambrinus Vienna Malt imparts a smooth, malty sweetness with notes of toasted bread, light caramel, and a slight nuttiness. It adds a warm golden to light amber color to your beer, enhancing both its visual appeal and malt complexity. The malt’s flavor profile is rich yet clean, providing the perfect balance between sweetness and toastiness without overwhelming the palate.

Typical Usage

Vienna Malt is often used in beer styles that require a robust malt backbone without excessive sweetness. It is commonly found in Vienna lagers, Märzens, and amber ales, but its versatility allows it to be used in many other styles. Vienna malt can make up 50-100% of the grain bill, depending on the desired malt intensity and color.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer grain milling services?

Yes, we provide grain milling services free of charge before shipping. To have your grain milled, please select the "Yes, please mill my grain" option on each grain product before adding it to your cart. We use a high-end, 3-roller mill from Spike, set to a standard gap of 4.5, which achieves optimal cracking while minimizing excessive flour. If you prefer a coarser or finer mill, leave a note in the shopping cart, and we’ll adjust it to your preference.

If we notice that most grains were selected for milling but a few were not, we will assume it was an oversight and mill all of them. If your intention is different, please clarify in the shopping cart notes section.

How do you ensure accuracy when weighing grains?

We take great care to ensure that you receive the correct grains in the exact quantities needed for your recipe. Our multi-step process ensures precision, starting with weighing each grain type individually to an accuracy of 0.08 ounces. After that, we perform a final check by weighing the combined total to confirm accuracy. Your total grain weight will always be slightly over the ordered amount, never under, and always within an acceptable range for even the most detail-oriented brewers (like ourselves).

How are grains packaged before shipment?

We provide a convenient recipe-building tool to streamline the process for you, our team, and the environment. We encourage you to use this tool to build your recipes, ensuring you get exactly what you’ve ordered in the correct quantities. By combining all the grains for a single recipe into one bag, we help speed up your brew day, reduce packaging waste, and save time during order fulfillment. Rest assured, we prioritize accuracy when measuring and packing your grains.
