This pilsner malt is grown by local farmers in Michigan and processed / malted by Great Lakes Malting in Traverse City, Michigan.
Imparts a golden color, candy-like sweetness, and mild caramel flavor. Crystal malts also add body and improve head retention. Usage is progressive, starting light to balance pilsners and reaching the maximum 15% to impart color and sweetness to darker ales, stouts, and porters.
