Yeah it was good, went quick so must have been! The malt was perhaps a little heavy for a lagerish beer, I would cut it with some lager malt next time
no palate, no patience.


Drinking - of course

Reading this thread getting ideas - I've got an unopened bag of crushed Vienna sitting at home and thinking I might use it for a left overs brew tomorrow.
I've got a random old packet of Belle Saison yeast which I will put in a starter and see if it wakes up. If it's alive I'll throw the Vienna in with the end of a bag of Maris Otter, and some quite old rolled oats (50/40/10%).

If not it's going in a blond ale. Either way it's getting used.

I brewed GWs recipe for Bass Mild using Vienna as the base malt. No idea if it has any similarities to mild ale malt but we shall see. It's been in fv for almost 3 weeks and it'll get bottled this weekend. Not sure how it's turned out but I'm hoping it will at the very least, be drinkable.

Cheers

Ooh. That sounds interesting.

Sadly I threw out my old saison yeast a few weeks ago, so I'm thinking about alternative ideas for something I can do with US-05.

I'm thinking 60% vienna, 35% Maris Otter, 5% oats, and gently hopped with Challenger and a teeny bit of Amarilllo.

I really hope so. It's also brewed with Carafa type 3 which is supposedly smoother than black patent but then I added a German golden syrup type sugar called Goldsaft which is almost a treacle (but not as dark) which I'm praying doesn't overpower the malt. It's five percent of the total grain bill. Mashed quite high 69°C to get sweet malty flavours but then used Nottingham yeast. Tasted it a week ago when I measured the gravity. Was slightly nutty.

I say give your brew a go. It should have a good malty flavour with so much vienna if it's lightly hopped.

Never used Vienna as a base malt before but I've just cracked open a 2 week old bottle of the Bass Mild I brewed using Vienna instead of mild ale malt (which unfortunately, I can't get hold of). Have to say that it's not a bad pint and is malty and nutty. The hops shine through probably because I used Nottingham but look forward to trying this again when it's month old.

Will definitely use Vienna as a sub for mild ale malt again.

Cheers

i use vienna in moderation adds a nice sweetness


drinking one now as i type\\

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=66463


me myself personally prefer maris as the base malt over vienna

i kilo in a brew adds a more nutty sweetness and vienna flavour

so what i can work out is stick to your preferred base malt get some vienna 10 kilo or so and experiment with amounts
and it's a must with wheat beers etc in moderation again
