Moravian Malt search

Kaiser and others
Is there a source for Moravian (style) malt anywhere that lists the specifications? Briess made a 130th anniversary blend in '06. I wonder if that stuff is available anywhere?

Thanks

Weyerman malting makes a Bohemian Pilsner malt. This would seem to possibly be aligned with your needs for a Moravian malt. You'll be hard pressed to find anyone who sells malt grown in Moravia. AFAIK no one is importing it anymore.

Keep in mind there is a difference between Malt grown in Moravia and Moravian Malt. As they are not the same. Bohemian Pilsner Malt is closely aligned with the style of Moravia malt, but isn't actually grown in Moravia.

It's kinda like a Philly cheese steak.

My bad. I didn't know there was a difference - I just remembered seeing the item on a search when I was shopping for pils malt the other day.

The Austin product is Weyermann's Pilsner Malt.

I was wondering if this stuff was still available, but I guess not.

To celebrate 130 years of malting tradition, Briess Malt & Ingredients Company offers the brewing industry our special Briess™ Anniversary Malt. Produced in the company's Chilton, Wisconsin, malthouse from 2-Row Moravian barley, Briess™ Anniversary Malt is a light-colored, mild flavored, low protein pilsener-style malt reminiscent of malts originally produced at the family's Czechoslovakian malthouse. Moravian is historically the preferred barley for lager beer, and Briess™ Anniversary Malt holds true to that tradition. It has a clean, delicately malty flavor with subtle sweetness. It produces smooth wort with low astringency. Low in protein, it is characterized by very plump kernels. Briess™ Anniversary Malt is suitable as the base malt for any beer style.

BIG BUMP

Any luck nailing down a Moravian malt source 7 years later!!??!
