Crisp Lager Malt is a pale base malt made from English spring barley and kilned at low temperatures for a clean lager profile. This 25kg sack is pre-crushed, ready for brewers who make pale lagers and light ales in bulk.

Flavour

  • Gentle, well-balanced sweetness on the palate
  • Fresh, clean crusty-bread aroma
  • An earthy richness that adds depth without clouding the clean lager character

  • Type: base malt, supplied crushed
  • Colour: 2.5-3.7 EBC (straw to pale gold)
  • Usage: 80-100% of the grist
  • Extract: 80.6%

How to use

Use it as the backbone of the grain bill. Crisp says its modification suits single-infusion mashing as well as continental multi-step mashes. Styles include Pilsner, Helles, Kolsch, Marzen and Vienna, plus light ales.

For a German-style alternative, see Crisp Crushed German Pilsner 25kg. Ferment with SafLager S-23 or SafLager W-34/70 for a true lager.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between this and the German Pilsner malt?

Crisp Lager Malt is made from English spring barley and is slightly paler (2.5-3.7 EBC). The German Pilsen malt is made in Hamburg from Danish and German barley and has a stronger bready character.

Is it crushed?

Yes, the 25kg sack is supplied crushed and ready to mash.

Can I use it for ales as well as lagers?

Yes. Crisp lists it for all lagers and light ales, at 80-100% of the grist.

Does it need a step mash?

No. Crisp says it works with a single-infusion mash, though it also suits multi-step mashing.
