550 °L - Viking Roasted Rye is produced by roasting high quality rye. The roasting process is done carefully without burning the grain. Final temperature during roasting is more than 392˚F. The flavor of roasted rye is bready, coffee- and dark chocolate-like. Burnt and smoky flavors are strong.
Roasted Rye can be used to enhance color and rye flavors in beer. Roasted grains of non-malted crops, such as barley, wheat or rye give beers not only color, but also characteristic, slightly crude 'grain' aftertaste. They find broad use in brewing special and holiday beers.
In 2016 Viking Malt and Danish Malting Group joined forces to better serve their customers. Now the new Viking Malt is the leading malting company in Northern Europe and supply raw materials and services to the global brewing, distilling and food industries. Viking Malt has 6 malthouses in areas where our distinctive Nordic barley is sourced: in Halmstad, Sweden; Vordingborg, Denmark; Lahti, Finland; Panevezys, Lithuania and in Sierpc and Strzegom, Poland. The annual malting capacity is close to 600 kilotons.
