About
Pilsner malt is the lightest base malt, kilned at low temperatures to preserve its pale color and delicate flavor. It forms the backbone of pilsners, lagers, Belgian ales, and any style where a clean, crisp malt character is essential. European Pilsner malt (continental) tends to be slightly sweeter than American versions.
