Homebrewing Base Malts
Base malts are where the bulk of the fermentable sugars will come from. Pilsner malt, Pale ale malt or the generic 'Two Row Brewers Malt' are the workhorse of all-grain recipies. Grape and Granary stocks a number of Pilsner and Pale Ale malts from Germany, Belgium, the United States, Ireland, the Czech Republic and the UK (England).
We at the Grape and Granary prefer to choose our base malt based on the style of beer we are brewing and the country that beer is brewed in. Thus, we recommend using Pale Ale malt from England to produce the best English Pale Ale or a Pilsner malt from the Czech republic to make the best Czech Pilsner beer.
Note: Base malts must be 'mashed' to convert the starch in them into fermentable sugar. This is done by way of the all-grain brewing process. It can be done using the traditional sparging method or by the Brew-in-A-Bag method.
