Pilsner Malt

Pilsner Malt is used as the base malt for the classic Pilsner, Kolsch and Lager styles. Pilsner Malt has a relatively low curing temperature of 85 degrees, which is sufficient to remove most of the grassy flavours arising from oxidized lipids. The predominant flavour is malty biscuit, and beers made from Pilsner Malt are clean, full-bodied with light colour.

Gladfield • New Zealand

Pilsner Malt

Gladfield Pilsner malt is made from 2 row English and European bred barley varieties. Only plump low protein barley is used which allows for higher extract potential and helps eliminate potential protein haze issues in the beer. Carefully controlled kilning gives a clean malty character with out too much colour. Gladfield Pilsner malt has sufficient diastatic power to convert the addition of 10-20% coloured malts but it is not designed for large amounts of unmalted adjuncts. It is important that mash pH is controlled properly to obtain the best efficiencies and desired outcomes.

Premium Pilsen Malt

Premium Pilsen Malt is used for brewing all malt Premium Lagers. There is an emphasis on low protein and relatively low S/T. This ensures good extract levels, no haze problems and low DMS potential. Steeping and germination are carefully controlled to prevent excessive modification and to preserve head retention values in the beer. Kilning of the green malt is carefully programmed to prevent excessive colour formation and to stabilise that colour, so that colour pick-up on wort boiling is restricted and yet sufficient heat is applied to ensure that DMS potential is limited. Although mainly intended for all malt beers, there is sufficient diastatic power to convert a limited amount of adjunct. Care will have to be taken that too much adjunct is not used or flavour could be impaired. Also, excessive dilution of soluble nitrogen could result in yeast nutrition problems, causing poor fermentation or flavour defects due to diacetyl for example.
