Viking Base Malts

1.7-2.0 °L - Viking Malt -  Pils is a traditional European Pilsner malt with a delicate malt sweetness that gives your lagers that extra something special. Viking Pils is the perfect base for all lagers and essential for Pilsners, Helles, Marzen, Bock, Vienna Lager, etc.    When your making light lagers most brewers want the pils base malt to provide a bit of maltiness. It can be the difference between boring beer and amazing beer. We have gotten great feedback from pro brewers and many have switched to Viking after trying it.     We also have several craft breweries using this malt for the commercial production of light colored Pales, IPA's, and Hazys. When compared to our Viking Xtra Pale the flavor of the Pils malt is just a bit lighter. Some brewers love this for their really light colored ales that are bursting with hop flavors.       Viking Malt is one of the largest malting companies in the world and the largest roaster of specialty malts. They are the main malt supplier to the famous Carlsberg brewery. Viking is not well known in the USA because they haven't had good US distribution. Because MoreBeer! and MoreBeer!

Experience the 3G Difference Reduce Staling & Improve Shelf Life — A null-lox malt bred without lipoxygenase enzymes, preventing the oxidative reactions that cause staling. Reduced DMS — Contains up to 60% less S-methylmethionine (SMM), reducing DMS potential for cleaner flavor and enabling faster, more efficient boils. Amazing Flavor — Clean, crisp, and balanced. In blind tastings, brewers consistently preferred it to other 2-row base malts. Versatile — Highly modified for easy conversion and kilned like a pilsner malt for an extra-light 1.7–1.9 °L color, making it ideal for everything from lagers to hop-forward ales.   Real innovation in base malt is rare. Viking 3G Xtra Pale represents a revolutionary step forward, engineered to give you a distinct advantage in quality, efficiency, and cost. This premium European malt uses naturally bred, null-LOX barley that actively prevents oxidative staling, keeping your beer fresher, longer. We’ve also engineered it with up to 60% less SMM (the precursor to DMS), ensuring a cleaner, purer flavor profile while enabling faster, more energy-efficient boils.   The result? A superior, brewer-preferred malt that delivers the performance of a premium import at the price of a domestic. Stand out without driving up costs. 1.9 °L - Viking Malt - Xtra Pale is a modern 2-row base malt designed for very light-colored ales.  While it works great as the base malt for any ale, it is particularly perfect for today’s extra light colored pale ales and IPAs.   Xtra pale is germinated like a pale malt to have a high degree of modification for easy brew house conversion. However, it is then uniquely Kilned like a pilsner malt for a very light color in the 1.7 to 1.9 Lovibond range. The result is a malt that easily and quickly converts like a true pale ale malt, but is as light or lighter than most Pilsner malts.   Morebeer! Pro worked with Viking to design this malt based on numerous customer requests. Unique light-colored barley varietals were chosen and the germination and kilning processes were selected to get the best of both worlds.  Compared to other 2-row base malts on the market that were originally designed for big breweries, and are neither true Pilsner or true Pale Malts, Xtra Pale was specifically designed for light, craft-brewed ales.

1.7-2.6 °L - Viking Malt - Viking Wheat Malt is produced from spring wheat.  Wheat goes through all the same process steps as done with barley malting.  Anyway, some special attention is needed during the germination because the shape of wheat kernels may promote very dense bed formation. Also the fact that the root let growth is modest keeps the wheat bed very tight. Due to this the temperature of the bed tries to rise easily. Especially during summer times there should be enough cooling capacity to perform controlled germination. Kilning end temperatures are in the area of 72-80C. Viking Malt’s Wheat Malt is well modified malt giving easiness in the brewing process. There is enough “everything” and it works well in high percentages giving its own amylase activity into the brew. The Viking Malt Wheat malt gives good flavor with low coloring values.  The extract content is high. In 2016 Viking Malt and Danish Malting Group joined forces to better serve their customers.

Cost Savings & Reduced Carbon Footprint: Because you don't need to drive off DMS, you can significantly reduce your kettle boiling time. This saves energy, time, and money. Environmental Benefit: The unique malting process also allows maltsters to reduce kilning time and temperature, conserving energy at the source and lowering the malt's overall carbon footprint.

Look for the discount at participating homebrew supply shops and online retailers. Don't miss this chance to be among the first to brew with the exceptional Viking Xtra Pale 3G malt.   Xtra Pale 3G FAQ: Does anyone else sell 3G malt in the US? No, MoreFlavor! is the exclusive distributor of Viking 3G barley in the US. Is this product non GMO? Yes, it was developed in Europe under EU guidelines which restrict GMO products. Do I need to change my recipes? You can leave them exactly the same! Feel free to adjust brewing schedules to play with reduced boil times, enzyme additions or other efficiency gains to glean the most benefit from this magical malt. Does 3G taste different from standard 2-rows? All malts taste different, but in a blind tasting the 3G barley was not immediately distinguishable when compared to the control samples. The 3G Xtra Pale was selected amongst the favorites by every individual on the panel and was ranked the overall favorite amongst 6 common base malts tested based on cumulative scores. No one on the panel was able to successfully guess which sample was the 3G. 3G must be expensive, right? Due to the reduced kilning times and good ergonomic viability of the barley, you don’t need to pay through the teeth for the best barley on the market. Pricing is competitive with domestic 2-row malts. Are malts other than Xtra Pale available in 3G? Currently, there are not. But we are looking into converting more of the line. We are also able to do custom maltings using 3G for large volumes (10 MT+). Is the old version (non 3G) of Xtra Pale still going to be available? Unfortunately, the original Xtra Pale will be sunsetting in favor of our new 3G malt. If this barley was developed for pilsners, then it is only good for light lagers, right? The barley was developed for lagers, but the malt was designed specifically for the American craft beer industry over the course of years of collaboration between Viking Malt and MoreFlavor! Xtra Pale provides a subtle, yet pleasant malt backbone that serves as a perfect canvas to paint your masterpiece. Clean and flavorful, it will accentuate and never overpower. Ideal for any modern beer style. How does this malt help reduce my carbon footprint and help me achieve my CSR goals? Due to the lack of DMS formation, Maltsters are able to kiln for shorter periods of time at lower temperatures, saving on energy costs. Likewise, brewers may be able to adjust their boil times as driving off DMS is no longer necessary. How is there reduced staling? Null lox malt has reduced lipoxygenase, which is the compound that leads to the wet cardboard or papery off flavor in beers as they age. By containing significantly reduced amounts of lipoxygenase, beer tastes fresh for longer, with improved flavor and foam stability. How is there no DMS in the malt? There is no formation of DMSp or DMS due to the knock out of the enzyme MMT (Methionine-S-Methyltransferase, pathway below)     1.7 - 1.9 °L - Superior quality European 2-row malt. Ideal base malt for all beer styles as it is germinated like a domestic 2-row pale malt, but kilned like a pilsner malt.  This means that it is very highly modified, but still very light in color.  This malt is the perfect base malt for modern craft breweries. Whether you're brewing a blonde ale, a hazy IPA or an imperial stout, this is the best base malt on the market. Malt Specification: Moisture % - max. 4.5 Extract fine % dm - min. 81.3 Color °L - 1.9 Protein % dm - max. 10.1 Kolbach Index % - 44.4 Beta-glucan in wort (mg/l) - 185 Friability % - 87 Glassy grains % - 0.4   The variety represents some of the latest inventions, where malting and brewing specific benefits have been combined in a modern malting barley variety. Reduced Lipoxygenase (Lox) activity No formation of DMSp and DMS Reduced lipoxygenase activity in malt produces beer with: Better taste fresh for longer Improved flavor stability with no staling and papery off-flavor Better foam stability No formation of DMSp and DMS Knock out of the enzyme MMT (Methionine-S-Methyltransferase) No DMS formation during malting No DMS formation during brewing Maltsters may reduce kilning temperature and time. Brewers may reduce evaporation during wort boiling. Energy saving and long-term support for CSR agenda.
