Ah ok. This sale probably isn't as good as the last one then... I don't remember the exact details, but I know the bag made it to my door for ~$42
I just ordered some Viking "brewer's malt" is this pale malt? I always wondered what "brewers malt" means...
anyway, wish I knew about that $40 deal...I think my order was about $55 shipped :/
"Brewers Malt" or "Lager Malt" will also be their most enzymatic and most highly modified if there are multiple offerings of the same very light color, making it suitable for adjunct brewing, while a similar color malt with a lower modification and enzyme level intended specifically for all malt brewing may be designated as "Pilsner Malt."‘Brewers Malt’ is usually the term a maltster uses for their lightest color offering. It serves as a base malt ‘blank slate’ to build the beer recipe upon. It can be used as a suitable substitute for ‘Pilsner’ malt, ‘Lager’ Malt, or ‘2-row’ which are names used by various maltster for their lightest color offering.
How many pounds of grain was it?
Mine was 14.5lb in a 5gal batch; "thin" is not how I would have described mine. I think mine was a little darker too.

Viking is darker but still come out good,
Blonde with 53% pale ale, 38% pilsner, 4.8% 20L crystal all Viking. Balance was carapils and acidulated. Not a light blonde but tasty. Slight orange color in sunlight.
Here is my 100% Viking Pale Ale Malt brew. I has quite a nice color and the flavor is...okay. A bit one dimensional and thin but some of that could just be my bias knowing the ingredients.
I have a plan to brew several Single Malt Pale Ale batches with a variety of base grains, and this is my first. I did a 2.5 gal batch hopped with Columbus, Amarillo and Citra. It was my first time using WLP051 California Ale V. I might need to scale back the hops a little due to the lack of sweetness in the grain bill.

No dark crystal or chocolate malts. Only Crystal was 20L Viking equivalent. Probably too dark for a blonde due to using the Viking pale ale malt but oh well it still tasted good.And what % was the dark crystal? Chocolate malt? That's super dark
