- General Remarks
Our malts are produced according to ISO 9001, ISO 22000 or FSSC 22000 and ISO 14001. Organic, Kosher and other specific certificates are granted locally. No GMO raw materials are used. Analysis of our malts are carried out according to EBC Analytica (or similar) when possible. Product descriptions are subject to crop changes.. DID YOU KNOW? Wheat malt, as opposed to barley malts, has no husk, which usually makes the filtration of wheat beers more difficult. Wheat also has a higher protein content than barley, which actually positively impacts the beer's head retention.

- Storage and Safety
Malt should be stored in a cool (< 20ºC), dry (< 40 RH %), odorless and pest free place. Under these conditions unopened bags of malt can be stored for a minimum of 2 years from the date of bagging and unopened bags of crushed malt for a minimum 1 year from the date of bagging. Opened bags are beyond Viking Malt's control, and we always recommend that opened bags are used at once. Anyhow, if opened bags are carefully re-sealed and then stored under the recommended conditions, they are expected to endure the storage times mentioned above. You should always keep the malts away from hot surfaces. Do not inhale the malt dust.
- Production and packaging
Wheat Malt is produced in Finland, Poland and Lithuania. Available in bulk, containers, big bags and 25 kg pp bags.
