Briess Synergy Select Pilsen MaltGems 50 lb

Briess Synergy Select Pilsen MaltGems® 50 lb are a convenient, pre-milled malt ingredient made from premium Briess Pilsen Malt. Produced through a proprietary process that creates dense, easy-to-handle malt pieces, MaltGems® offer the flavor, extract potential, and brewing performance of traditional malt while reducing dust, improving handling, and simplifying storage. Made from high-quality North American 2-row barley, Synergy Select Pilsen MaltGems® provide a clean, lightly sweet malt profile with subtle notes of fresh bread, honey, and grain.

In brewing applications, Synergy Select Pilsen MaltGems® serve as an excellent base malt ingredient, producing a light golden color and crisp malt backbone. Their clean flavor profile makes them ideal for lagers, pilsners, blonde ales, Kölsch-style beers, wheat beers, and other styles where delicate malt character is desired. The high level of enzymatic activity supports efficient starch conversion and allows for the inclusion of adjunct grains such as corn, rice, or unmalted cereals.

For distilling, Synergy Select Pilsen MaltGems® provide excellent extract yield and fermentability, making them suitable for grain-neutral spirits, vodka, whiskey, and other distilled products requiring a clean malt foundation. Their strong enzymatic package helps maximize conversion efficiency and alcohol production.

What makes Briess Synergy Select Pilsen MaltGems® unique compared to traditional bulk Pilsen Malt is their innovative MaltGems® format. The compact, low dust process improves material handling, transportation efficiency, and ingredient consistency while delivering the same clean flavor and brewing performance expected from premium Pilsen malt. Compared to standard brewer's malt, MaltGems® offer operational advantages for breweries and distilleries seeking streamlined ingredient management.
