Heritage Base Malt for Rich, Malty Flavors

Weyermann® Barke® Vienna Malt is a premium, heirloom malt known for its exceptional malt sweetness and rich, complex flavors. Made from Barke® barley, this malt is ideal for brewing traditional and malt-forward beer styles, providing a well-rounded malt backbone with subtle notes of caramel, honey, and freshly baked bread. Its heritage barley variety, combined with Weyermann®'s commitment to quality, makes Barke® Vienna Malt a perfect choice for brewers looking to create rich, full-bodied beers.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Weyermann® Barke® Vienna Malt imparts a sweet, malty flavor with notes of caramel, honey, and a delicate biscuity character. Its moderate kilning gives it a beautiful golden to light amber color, making it ideal for a variety of beer styles. The malt's rich flavor enhances the depth and complexity of your brew, creating a smooth, well-rounded mouthfeel.

Typical Usage

Barke® Vienna Malt is commonly used in malt-forward beer styles such as Vienna lagers, Marzens, bocks, and other traditional European styles.

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.
