Single temp pilsner malt

[Steveruch]

What's the best pilsner malt to use in a single temperature infusion mash?

i have had very good luck with briess pilsner at 152.

but i havent tried others so i cant compare .

What flavor profile are you looking for? Avengard, Best, Briess, Weyermann are good all-around Pils, Barke has a bready flavor, etc. If I was doing a Helles, I'd go with Barke. If you're buying in bulk for general usage, there's not a big difference TO ME among those I mentioned, so I'd look at price.

fwiw, I go through two bags of Weyermann Pilsner yearly and mash at 150~152 on a herms rig...

Cheers!

What malts do you have access to?

That's a great question and one that I've had myself. What I've noticed is that it takes longer to convert than 2-row. I mash to a particular gravity and it takes sometimes 30 min. longer. With that in mind, I've used Great Western pils with good results at a single temp.

Use the one that tastes the best. Chew a couple kernels of each at the shop and then buy the one you like.

Weyermann Barke is highly modified and will yield great extraction at a single rest.

There's a lot of different pilsner out there, German, Czech, Italian, American, etc. I'm a huge believer in using the local ingredients for the type you want to make. I do like Avangard for most pilsners. Viking is also good.

I've only used Breiss and Weyermans and had good luck with both. I am using Lalemanns Novalager for yeast and really like how quickly this lager yeast takes care of business

I agree with local, I use Proximity Malts.
