Moravian Malt

[sluggerdog]

I was just reading up about a Bohemian Pilsner and noticed it mentions Moravian Malt. I've done a bit of googling on the malt and it seems it is not available within Australia.

Does anyone have any info/experience with this malt and would there be a suitable alternative that we have available here?

Cheers

Slugger,
i don't know if it's actually a moravian strain, but the Weyermann Bohemian Pilsner malt is my No 1. choice for a Bohemian pilsner. Its Czech grown, so it must be the real thing. Definately my favorite malt.

Slugger - The Bohemium Pilsner malt is your closest available here.
"Bohemian Malt from the Czech Republic. This is a slightly less modified version of the German Pilsner malt. It is made from Bohemian Hanka Barley. Perfect for making Bohemian style Pilsners using protein rests and decoction mashing.
It produces a full bodied golden brown color that gives a complex malty flavor, great for contintal pilsners! "
