Excess Pilsen Light LME

[OpticHops]

A local brewery was giving away some supplies and I ended up with literally a hundred pounds of Briess Pilsen Light CBW. Any ideas for making diverse beers with this?

I also managed to get a 50lb bag of Maltoferm, which I've read can darken beers, if that helps. Thanks in advance for your help and ideas.

Vary the specialty grains, the hops, and the yeast. You'll get a lot of different beers.

If you find a recipe for a beer you want to make, you could sub the PIlsen LME for the Pilsen or two row grain, then use any specialty grains as steeping grains. That is an over simplification, but it gets the point across. You'll need to use some recipe software to calculate the amounts.

Some of my favorite styles featuring Pilsen malt include: 1) Belgian Golden Strong, 2) Trappist Single, 3) Helles, 4) German Pilsner, 5) International Pale Lager, and 6) Dortmunder Export. But you can use the Pilsner as a base malt instead of two row in any recipe.

"No boil" recipe ideas:

• American IPA - Blasphemy - No Boil NEIPA
• No-Boil Recipes! New for 2019!

@Steveruch has a pair of Zymurgy magazine articles with recipes for styles other than IPA & NEIPA. You will get IBUs without a "true boil" - Basic Brewing Radio November 1, 2018 (IBUs vs Wort Gravity and Hop Stand Temp) is worth a listen.
