Pilsner up next

[Rookie]

I'll be doing this in 2.5-3 weeks.

Looks good. I prefer the Bestmalz Pilsner malt for my Pilsners.

I also personally like to throw in a sizeable amount of noble hops in the last 5 minutes. Last one I did split 100g of leaf Hallertauer Mittelfruh between 15 minutes and 1 minute left in the boil. Tasted/smelt fantastic, but was marked down in competitions for being a bit too up front hoppy.

So what’s the Bestmalz character that you like so much in your pilsners?
I know Weyermann do about 8 different ones but have only tried 3 of them and think I prefer Dingemanns, although that is mostly brewing Helles a while ago.

Difficult to say as I’ve not brewed the same beer side by side using the two. Both were good, but Bestmalz was just a bit sweeter and maltier, but without being really bready.

It is Bestmaltz. And the amount of hops scheduled (3 gallon batch) gets me where I want.

I'm really liking the hersbrucker. This is my first time using it in a pilsner.
