Crisp German Pilsen Malt is a classic continental lager base malt, made at Crisp's maltings in Hamburg from Danish and German spring barley. This 25kg sack comes ready crushed, so it can go straight into the mash tun for pilsners and other German-style lagers.

How to use

Use it as all or most of the grain bill and mash as normal; it works in single-infusion UK-style brewhouses as well as step mashes. Crisp suggests it for German Pilsner, Vienna Lager and Maibock.

Pair it with noble hops such as Saaz or Tettnanger and a lager yeast like SafLager W-34/70. A 25kg sack suits regular all-grain brewers who brew lager often.

Compare this against every malt we stock or see all our 25kg crushed base malts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this malt already crushed?

Yes. It is supplied crushed and ready to mash, so you do not need a grain mill.

How much of the grain bill can be German Pilsen Malt?

Crisp rates it for up to 100% of the grist, so it can be the only malt in a pale lager.

What colour is it?

Crisp's typical specification is 3.0-4.0 EBC, giving a pale straw colour typical of pilsners.

How should I store a 25kg sack of crushed malt?

Keep it sealed, cool and dry, away from damp and pests. Crushed malt goes stale faster than whole grain, so use it promptly.
