Description
4.3 °L - Viking Malt - Smoke from oak gives the malt specific and delicate aroma. In brewing, can be used for beer called “grodziskie” and other special beers.
Shipping Limitation: This item does not qualify for free shipping.
Brewed up my award winning Piwo Grodz, subbing out the usual Weyermann oak smoke wheat with this. 100% of grain bill. All else remained the same. I experienced both lower efficiency and the smoke flavor and aromas did not come through in the finished beer. I doubt my NHC entry will make it to the next round due to this change.
Not sure if this was just an old lot and the smoke had dissipated.
I REALLY wanted to like this malt, but it just didn't provide any smoke. Even my wife can attest to this as she hates smoke beers but like this one claiming "it's not smoked at all".
I have always used Weyermann's oak smoked wheat when brewing my Grodziskies but it was unavailable so I purchased the Viking Smoked Wheat and I couldn't be happier. Weyermann malts always make a great beer but I am all in on Viking for my Grodziskie! I will be purchasing a sack soon as I brew a Grodziskie regularly!
