The Pilsner style takes a lifetime to master. There is nowhere to hide with this deceptively simple recipe so only the most well-made and consistent malts should be used on this style. Our German Pilsner Malt doesn’t need step or decoction mashing and will deliver a beautiful white head and clear beer, as befits the style.
