Crisp – Tivoli German Pilsen Malt – 25kg Bag Unmilled

Crisp Tivoli German Pilsen Malt

Crisp Tivoli German Pilsen Malt is sourced from elite two-row spring barley grown in the traditional malting regions of Germany. It is specifically designed to meet the rigorous standards of continental lager production, offering exceptional modification and high enzymatic power. In the brewhouse, it produces a very pale, bright wort with a clean, “grainy-sweet” aroma and minimal colour pick-up. Its low nitrogen content ensures excellent clarity and shelf stability, while the balanced modification levels make it suitable for both modern single-temperature infusion and traditional decoction mashing. The result is a highly drinkable, “snappy” beer that perfectly showcases noble hop bitterness and clean fermentation.

Key Benefits

1. Continental Authenticity: Sourced and malted in Germany for a genuine European lager profile.
2. Exceptional Extract: High modification ensures maximum fermentable sugar recovery.
3. Low Protein: Promotes brilliant clarity and reduces the risk of chill haze in cold-conditioned beers.
4. Clean Performance: Provides a neutral, crisp foundation that allows delicate hop aromatics to shine.

Applications

1. Brewing: The definitive base for German Pilsner, Munich Helles, Dortmunder Export, and Kölsch.
2. Distilling: Useful for high-quality neutral spirit production or as a base for vodka-style washes.
3. Cider Making: An excellent addition to “Graff” to increase alcohol and body without introducing heavy British “ale” sweetness or dark colour.
