Voyager Malts Veloria — Australian Pale Base Malt for Summer Ales & Hazy Pales
Veloria is Voyager Malt's standout pale base malt, built on the rare Schooner barley variety to deliver something distinctly Australian — a clean, golden malt character with a gentle toasted honey sweetness and exceptional head retention. It was designed from the ground up as a single-malt base for summer pale ales, and it shows: bright, biscuity, and surprisingly characterful for a pale malt.
If you want your grain to bring something to the glass, Veloria delivers.
What Makes Veloria Different
Most pale base malts are designed to be neutral — a blank canvas. Veloria is a step up from that. The Schooner variety it's built on has characteristics reminiscent of older English brewing barleys, producing a malt with more inherent flavour complexity than a standard lager or ale base malt. The result is a clean, slightly honeyed sweetness with good malt backbone — qualities that shine in light, hop-forward styles where the malt needs to support without dominating.
- Golden wort colour, ideal for pale ales, summer ales, and hazy styles
- Clean toasted honey sweetness from the Schooner barley variety
- Excellent head retention and body due to strong protein content
- High diastatic power (150+) — fully self-converting with capacity to spare for adjuncts
- Fast saccharification time of 10–20 minutes
- Over 78% fine/coarse extract efficiency
- Apparent attenuation limit of 87% — highly fermentable wort
- Protein content 10–12% — supports foam, mouthfeel, and body
- 100% Australian-grown and malted by Voyager Malt
Best Styles for Veloria
Veloria is purpose-built for lighter, hop-forward styles where a clean but characterful malt base matters most. It excels as the primary base malt in:
- Summer pale ales and session ales
- Australian pale ales
- American and hazy pale ales and IPAs
- Blonde ales and golden ales
- Any style where bright, clean fermentability and good foam are priorities
It also works well blended with small additions of crystal or wheat malt to add body and colour while keeping the Veloria character front and centre.
How to Use
Use as a single base malt at up to 100% of the grain bill, or blend with speciality malts as desired. Mash at 64–68°C for 60–90 minutes — the strong diastatic power means full conversion is reliable even at lower mash temperatures, which is useful for achieving a drier, more fermentable wort in sessionable styles. Veloria's fast saccharification time (10–20 minutes) makes it forgiving and efficient in both single infusion and step mash setups.
