Pilsner Malt is a type of malted barley that is primarily used in brewing Pilsner beer. It is known for its light color and mild flavor, which contributes to the crisp and refreshing taste of the beer. The malting process involves soaking the barley in water, allowing it to germinate, and then drying it in a kiln. This process enhances the sugars needed for fermentation. The light color of Pilsner Malt typically ranges from 1.5 to 2.5 Lovibond, making it ideal for pale lagers. It provides a subtle sweetness and a clean finish, allowing the hop flavors to shine through. Brewers often choose Pilsner Malt for its versatility and ability to create a balanced beer profile.
