How to get more toasty/nutty/ flavors in a vienna lager?

[drkered]

Im getting ready to brew up a vienna lager. here is my simple grain bill:

8lb of vienna malt
1lb of caramunich malt


does anyone know how to maximize the nutty flavor, I would like it to be more profound than others I have tasted. Any ideas, or tips?

Replace the caramunich with aromatic and perhaps some vienna with dark munich.

Nutty? What Vienna beers are you referring to? A Vienna beer should taste like Vienna malt. Maybe toasty but not nutty. If you're after nuttiness you could throw in some darker roasted grains and turn it into a brown ale with lager yeast.

I ended up adding .25 pounds of bisquit malt cause my LHBS had a label on that grain saying "to add more bisquit/toasty flavors". In such a small amount I probably won't even notice it. I'll let you know how it turns out.
