What flavor should I expect
« on: January 17, 2017, 03:09:34 pm »
Using 7 lbs Vienna 3 lbs Pilsner malt.  What will the Vienna impart with that percentage of the total grain bill?

It'll give you a toasty, somewhat deeper malt flavor as opposed to the pils alone,ie., a very nice beer. I'm speaking of non-lodo brewing as I haven't used it in that format.

+1.  It will give you more malt depth with a slightly toasted maltiness. It will make a great beer!

I've only used Vienna in combination with Pilsner and Munich.  That beer tasted great and to my surprise won a competition.     I got good bready grain and caramel.  The caramel likely came from the Munich. Not sure if the bready flavor was from the Pils or Vienna malt.  Regardless, sounds like you have a good Vienna Lager planned.

Yeah I know. :)  Sounds like there are definite differences though.
