Summary

Often mistaken for specialty grains, both Vienna and Munich malts are base malts capable of self-conversion, meaning can be used at up to 100% of the grist. In this episode, contributor Phil Rusher sits down with Marshall to chat about what makes these malts so unique as well as go over the results of an xBmt comparing the two. The Brülosophy Podcast is brought to you by Imperial Yeast who provide brewers with the most viable and fresh yeast on the market.

of the grain bill, and while most popular types tend to be on the paler and arguably less characterful end of the spectrum,

Seldom used, but definitely delicious in their own regard.
