Pilsner Malt - Viking Malt

    Description

    1.7-2.0 °L - Viking Malt - Pils is a traditional European Pilsner malt with a delicate malt sweetness that gives your lagers that extra something special. Viking Pils is the perfect base for all lagers and essential for Pilsners, Helles, Marzen, Bock, Vienna Lager, etc.

    When your making light lagers most brewers want the pils base malt to provide a bit of maltiness. It can be the difference between boring beer and amazing beer. We have gotten great feedback from pro brewers and many have switched to Viking after trying it.

    We also have several craft breweries using this malt for the commercial production of light colored Pales, IPA's, and Hazys. When compared to our Viking Xtra Pale the flavor of the Pils malt is just a bit lighter. Some brewers love this for their really light colored ales that are bursting with hop flavors.

    Viking Malt is one of the largest malting companies in the world and the largest roaster of specialty malts. They are the main malt supplier to the famous Carlsberg brewery. Viking is not well known in the USA because they haven't had good US distribution. Because MoreBeer! and MoreBeer! Pro is directly importing thousands of tons of malt we are stoked to offer you Northern European malt quality from one of the best malting companies in the world at lower than domestic malt pricing.

    Viking Malt has 6 malthouses in areas where distinctive Nordic barley are sourced: in Halmstad, Sweden; Vordingborg, Denmark; Lahti, Finland; Panevezys, Lithuania and in Sierpc and Strzegom, Poland. The advantage of northern European malt is lower protein levels, good kernel size, and less amount of pesticides used due to the cold winters.

        Strong Efficiency

        I just brewed with this malt a few days ago. I am very impressed with the efficiencies that I obtained with the malt with an overnight mash. I did mill the grains again since the crush was not very fine. However, I used the grain basket in the Anvil, without a bag, and did not get a stuck mash even with the grains milled twice.

        Adequate for average beers

        This is a decent Pilsner malt, but lacks the great flavor of Weyermann or Ireks. Perfectly adequate for beers where you don’t need a crisp field-fresh malt flavor. It’s cost is favorable for use in such beers.

        Worked good for me.

        Good grind and it gave me good gravity points. I will buy it again and think it is worth trying and recommend.

        Results in beers with great head formation and lacing

        I have brewed two beers thus far using Viking Pilsner. One as 100% grist, the other 50%. Both exhibited the nicest head I have ever gotten on a beer. The resulting head was very white, dense, and rocky and persisted practically until the glass was empty. The flavor is best described as crisp. My efficiency fell somewhat short of expected for both, but not by enough to be problematic. All in all, a worthwhile pilsner to try. I plan on experimenting subbing in a few pounds into future beers with other base malts to see if I can get the nice head. Presently using carafoam with good results for this purpose.

        Great Malt at a Great Price

        I bought a sack of this malt almost 8 months ago and I love it. It’s got that great classic light crackery biscuity malty flavor that i crave in a Pilsner. The conversion is up there with the rest and the color is great. I literally just twist the grain bag it comes in to store it and 8 months later and the last Kölsch style I made was amazing. Having this sack of grain makes me confident in the beer I make and I’m happy I bought it. I highly recommend this grain and I’m excited to try other products from Viking. Cheers fellow brewers!!!

        Comes dry, crushed and gives the expected flavor. Would buy again.

        Works well for lagers and I use about 20% in IPA's too. Large kernels mill differently though. Great price.

        Good European Pilsner Malt

        I have been using it instead of Belgian and German Pilsner since it was made available from More Beer.

        Great Low Cost Base Malt

        Great low cost base malt. A little darker than expected, but yielded great results. Try it, you'll like it!

        Malting my beer up! Great selections!

        Planer malt was delivered in just a few days as promised, which was a pleasant surprise.I'm moving from beer kits to trying my own recipes with local hops. The other malts I've used so far added rich flavors to my beer. Thumbs up from this beer maker.

        Viking malts

        I love Viking Malts. I purchase a 55 lb. sack at a time. The price per pound is amazing and keeps me brewing more often. For the price it pays for it self after three brews. Flavor is good and have had no issues with grain freshness. Would recommend!!!!

        Great European pilsner for less

        I've been very pleased with this pilsner malt, and it's the cheapest I have found in the 10lb bags, especially with a 15% discount.

        Good base malt

        Good base malt for the money. It is a little dark for a pilsner malt, but otherwise a great value. Good flavor, good extraction.

        Good malt for the price

        Malt is comparable to US grown pilsner malts at a much lower price.

        Milling

        I am brewing tomorrow, so I can't say how the grain tastes, but milling WAS a problem. The kernels are HUGE! I had to change the gap on my mill to get them to grind. Smelled good and tasted good by itself. I'll update review when I beer is done. Making a Trappist Single.

        Great taste and value!

        I loved the flavor profile I got from this malt. It rivals that of the Wyerman malts I’ve had as far as taste. I did find that my efficiency was slightly less. But after reading other reviews that had similar experiences I just added slightly more grain and hit my numbers perfect.
