Description

1.7-2.0 °L - Viking Malt -  Pils is a traditional European Pilsner malt with a delicate malt sweetness that gives your lagers that extra something special. Viking Pils is the perfect base for all lagers and essential for Pilsners, Helles, Marzen, Bock, Vienna Lager, etc. 

 
When your making light lagers most brewers want the pils base malt to provide a bit of maltiness. It can be the difference between boring beer and amazing beer. We have gotten great feedback from pro brewers and many have switched to Viking after trying it.  
 
We also have several craft breweries using this malt for the commercial production of light colored Pales, IPA's, and Hazys. When compared to our Viking Xtra Pale the flavor of the Pils malt is just a bit lighter. Some brewers love this for their really light colored ales that are bursting with hop flavors.    
 
Viking Malt is one of the largest malting companies in the world and the largest roaster of specialty malts. They are the main malt supplier to the famous Carlsberg brewery. Viking is not well known in the USA because they haven't had good US distribution. Because MoreBeer! and MoreBeer! Pro is directly importing thousands of tons of malt we are stoked to offer you Northern European malt quality from one of the best malting companies in the world at lower than domestic malt pricing. 
 
Viking Malt has 6 malthouses in areas where distinctive Nordic barley are sourced: in Halmstad, Sweden; Vordingborg, Denmark; Lahti, Finland; Panevezys, Lithuania and in Sierpc and Strzegom, Poland.  The advantage of northern European malt is lower protein levels, good kernel size, and less amount of pesticides used due to the cold winters.

Strong Efficiency
I just brewed with this malt a few days ago. I am very impressed with the efficiencies that I obtained with the malt with an overnight mash. I did mill the grains again since the crush was not very fine. However, I used the grain basket in the Anvil, without a bag, and did not get a stuck mash even with the grains milled twice.

Adequate for average beers
This is a decent Pilsner malt, but lacks the great flavor of Weyermann or Ireks. Perfectly adequate for beers where you don’t need a crisp field-fresh malt flavor. It’s cost is favorable for use in such beers.

Worked good for me.
Good grind and it gave me good gravity points. I will buy it again and think it is worth trying and recommend.
