Viking Rye Malt

Viking Rye is produced from high-quality rye. The malting process does not differ much from pilsner malt production. The final air-on temperature is normally 72–82C°. Rye malt gives the beverage a characteristic rye and honey aroma, reminiscent of rye bread or pumpernickel loaf.

Viking Rye Malt can be used in breweries’ specialty rye beers, Rye Lager, and Rye Ale (Roggenbier). Nowadays, moere and more beers even from the IPA family feature rye malt. The malt gives a golden colour and a typical rye flavor. We recommend to keep the dosage of Rye Malt under 7% to avoid wort separation problems.

Viking Malt comes from a small town in Finland and has grown to be a big name in the world of malt-making. Over the years, they've joined forces with other malt producers in the Baltic area. Now, they're the top malt company in Northern Europe and one of the biggest in all of Europe. They get their grains from places in North and East Europe where the air is cleaner, which means their malt has a fresh and pure taste.
