Ingredients (All Grain5.5 gal)

  • 5 lbs BEST Pilsen Malt;Best Malz

    BEST Pilsen Malt;Best Malz

    Our first class BEST Pilsen Malt gives beer a fresh and rounded taste. It can be used for all types of light beer. It also forms an excellent “light” foundation for almost all beer specialities. The malt is produced from high-quality two-row-spring barley, which was grown in the best German and European barley regions. The properties of the malt: low protein levels, high extract content, light colour and high enzymatic activity.

    BEST Aromatic Malt;Best Malz

    BEST Aromatic Malt will impart a distinct, almost exaggerated malt aroma and flavour to dark lagers, amber lagers, German Bocks and others, even at a rate as low as 10%.

  • 0.11 lbs BEST Acidulated Malt;Best Malz

    BEST Acidulated Malt;Best Malz

    BEST Acidulated Malt reduces the pH value of the wort. This results in improved enzyme activity of the mash, greater yield and taste stability as well as in beer with a lighter colour and a balanced aroma. It also represents an interesting alternative for breweries that have no mash acidification.
