Avangard Malz 6-Row Pilsen Malt 55 lb

Avangard Malz 6-Row Pilsen Malt is a traditional German style base malt crafted from 6-row brewing barley to provide excellent enzymatic strength, clean malt flavor, and reliable mash performance. This malt delivers a crisp grain profile with subtle notes of fresh bread, light honey, and delicate sweetness, making it an excellent foundation for a wide range of beer styles.

With a color rating of 2° Lovibond, Avangard Malz 6-Row Pilsen Malt produces a very pale straw to golden color while maintaining a clean and highly fermentable wort. Its higher protein and enzyme content compared to two-row malts makes it particularly effective when brewing with adjuncts such as corn, rice, oats, or unmalted grains, helping ensure complete starch conversion during the mash.

This versatile base malt is commonly used in American lagers, light lagers, Cream Ales, Pre-Prohibition style beers, and other recipes requiring a crisp, clean malt backbone. It also works well in high adjunct brewing applications where additional enzymatic power is beneficial for efficient lautering and fermentation performance.

Typical usage ranges from 60% - 100% of the grain bill depending on recipe design and adjunct usage. It can serve as the sole base malt in lighter beer styles or be blended with specialty malts to add complexity, body, and color.

Avangard Malz 6-Row Pilsen Malt offers dependable extract yield, strong diastatic power, and consistent brewing performance, making it an excellent choice for brewers seeking clean fermentation character and efficient mash conversion in both traditional and modern beer styles.
