Weyermann Premium Pils

[dig]

Newly available from my trusty malt man, Disco Dave Cryer, Premium Pils is a little different from their regular and reliable pilsener malt. Made from the varieties Barke and Scarlett, if that means something to you, specs indicate a lower colour, lower protein, higher modification and higher extract. 'New World' pilsener malt if you like.

Had a munch going into the mill; very tasty. Light cracker biscuit flavour, very clean, soft sweetness. I'll see if I can pick the difference in the finished beer a few weeks from now.

Yep, I have used this before and its a great product. Maybe a little undermodified though.

Yum. Going through the filter as I type. I can't pick any difference in the colour, but the beer itself seems rounder, the malt has a soft sweetness to it and the whole things seems a little more fresh and vibrant. This beer type usually looks a little angry coming off the filter and needs a couple of days to rest in the bright tanks to overcome 'filter shock', but this one is as good and settled as I've yet seen.

Maybe a little undermodified though.

:huh:

Yeah, I kind of scratched my head there too. Seems very much like a modern high performance malt that can handle single temp infusion mashing but still give a decent flavour. A bit spendy, but hey, you get that.

Maybe Steve was talking about the Weyermann Bo Pils product?
