Product Details

Taste & Character

Gambrinus Pilsner Malt is a premium Canadian two-row base malt crafted for brewing clean, crisp lagers and Pilsners. With an ultra-light color range of approximately 1.5–1.9 Lovibond, it lends a pale, bright hue and subtle yet enticing notes of fresh barley, grain, honey, light bread, and a gentle nutty character with a touch of vanilla aroma.

Where It Shines

This malt excels in classic lager styles—think crisp Pilsners, German Helles, Kölsch—and also supports lighter ales like Belgian Pale, Blond Ales, and even session IPAs. Its clean, refined character allows hop and yeast profile to shine through while providing a soft malt presence.

Role in the Brewhouse

Gambrinus Pilsner Malt offers excellent extract potential (min ~79%) and maintains protein content under 13%, delivering enzymatic strength and clarity needed for lagers and delicate styles. It can be used at up to 100% of the grain bill or blended with specialty malts to add complexity without cloudiness.

Brewer’s Guidance

Use as the foundation malt for ultra-clean lagers—like Pilsners, Helles, and Kölsch—or as a subtle base in lighter ales. Its gentle flavor and high extract efficiency make it ideal for showcasing hops or yeast character, while ensuring consistent brew day performance.
