Description
Rahr Old World Pilsner stands apart, steeped in tradition while offering unique advantages. Unlike other domestic two-row malts, it has a slower germination rate, resulting in a higher proportion of insoluble protein in the kernel. While this characteristic may slightly reduce extract yields, it brings significant benefits in return—enhanced flavor, superior yeast nutrition, and a boost in beer foam stability.
Another distinctive trait of this malt is its lower Diastatic Power (DP), which adds a layer of versatility to your brewing process. When step-mashing, some starch conversion will occur at higher temperature ranges, enabling you to fine-tune the body, taste, and texture of your brew.
Ultimately, the Rahr Old World Pilsner presents a richly rewarding brewing experience, marrying old-world charm with the advantages of modern brewing science. Imbue your beer with a depth of flavor and quality that pays homage to time-honored brewing traditions.
