Lager or Pilsner Malt

Category:
Grain
Type:
Base Malt
Stage:
Mash
Color Range:
1 - 2
Notes:
This type of base malt is the palest of the pale. The name comes from the fact that pale lagers are the most common style of beer and this is the type of malt used to produce them. Lager malt can be used as the base malt for brewing nearly every other style as well. A malt with fine, mild flavor and excellent diastatic power. The names lager malt and Pilsner malt should be synonymous, and either one can be produced from most any barley variety and on any continent, but the moniker "Pilsner malt" is generally associated with low-protein European varieties or indicates a premium lager malt. The "Pilsner" label may also be used to indicate a malt with lower modification compared to other base malt products from the same maltster.
