Description

What is BEST Pilsen Malt?
A light, enzyme-rich base malt, BEST Pilsen Malt is crafted from high-quality European barley and known for its outstanding versatility. It is favoured by brewers for its clean, grainy flavour, adding minimal colour and an exceptional foundation for bright, aromatic beers.

How to Use BEST Pilsen Malt
Typically comprising up to 100% of the grain bill in pale and light beers, this malt supports precision and consistency in brewing, making it suitable for lagers, Pilsners, Helles, and even Kölsch. Its smooth maltiness balances hop-forward profiles, enhancing drinkability in both light and specialty styles.

Flavour Profile
BEST Pilsen Malt provides a mild, grainy sweetness with a clean maltiness, allowing for prominent hop character. This mild profile is ideal for enhancing delicate flavours without overpowering hop bitterness or aroma.

Enzymatic Activity
The high enzymatic power of BEST Pilsen Malt supports thorough starch conversion during mashing, even with high percentages of specialty malts in the recipe.

Mashing
This malt integrates smoothly in single- and multi-step mashing processes, adapting well to various brewing techniques. It maintains clarity and high fermentability, ensuring a bright, clean wort with ideal pH levels.

Combining with Other Malts
While perfect as a sole base malt, BEST Pilsen Malt harmonises well with Munich or Vienna malts, contributing depth and complexity to lagers and pale ales without altering the beer’s light, vibrant character.

Benefits of BEST Pilsen Malt
With its low protein and ß-glucan levels, this malt aids in filtration and clarity, enhancing the ease of wort production. Its consistent quality ensures smooth performance, particularly in high-volume brewing systems.

History
Produced by Palatia Malz GmbH in Heidelberg, BEST Pilsen Malt adheres to Germany's purity laws and follows traditional, rigorous brewing standards, creating a malt product that brings together heritage with advanced processing techniques.
