Pilsner malt – Produced by multiple malting companies both US and abroad. Its made from a light, quality American or European 2-row barley, rich in enzymes and low in protein. Not to be confused with pale ale malt that differs from pilsner in both color and flavor. Using Pilsner malt produces a clean and neutral tasting lager with a light color. Its low protein content makes it perfect for brewing your favorite lagers. Furthermore because of its high extract potential (1.036) its ideal as a base malt. Pilsner malt is appropriately used in German-style pilsners, traditional Czech, and a wide variety of crisp lagers and ales. Its also known to be used in interpretations of Kölsch style ales.
