Canada Malting Superior Pilsen Malt is a premium Canadian base malt produced from carefully selected lots of Canadian-grown Copeland barley. Made exclusively at Canada Malting’s Calgary malthouse, Superior Pilsen is selected for its low protein, light color, high extract, and balanced modification, making it an excellent foundation for clean, crisp lagers and other pale beer styles.
Its very light color helps produce the brilliant pale-gold appearance associated with Pilsners and light lagers, while its clean, delicate malt character allows hops and yeast-derived flavors to remain prominent. The low protein specification is particularly desirable when brewing beers where clarity, smooth flavor, and a refined finish are priorities.
Superior Pilsen also offers high extract potential, helping brewers achieve excellent brewhouse yield and efficiency. Its balanced modification provides dependable mash performance while maintaining the subtle malt character expected from a premium Pilsner-style base malt.
Use Canada Malting Superior Pilsen as the primary base malt for a clean lager or combine it with Vienna, Munich, wheat, or specialty malts when building more complex recipes.
