Looking for general purpose Pilsen malt

Wed Jan 08, 2014 7:30 am

I know the general advice is buy the malt from the region for the style your going to brew.....but I'm choosing to ignore that advice. I brew mostly Dortsmunders, Helles, Sours, and some IPAs with pilsen malt.

Also I know only some malts are included in the poll, but those are what’s available at the shop I'm stopping at.

I'm kind of leaning towards a US malt. Just because I think it might be a little fresher, and like the ideal of buying US Malt. Currenlty I use more Marris Otter than anything else :oops:

I really prefer Weyermann pils but if you want to go domestic the Superior pils from Canada was my preferred domestic of the ones I tried

It's worth the effort to obtain a good continental Pils. Weyermann is my go to, but I also like the MFB.

Weyermann. Best Malz is a little harder to find for me. Or try a combination of 2.(German/Belgian, 2-Row/Pilsen)

I made a few phone calls and quick google searches. A lot of places are out of Weyermann pilsen malt, including morebeer. I'm might have to settle for a second place.
