Keeping with the German beers. I did after all buy an entire 55lb sack of Viking brand pilsner malt. It’s time to try a Bavarian pilsner. One of my favorite styles of beer to enjoy during the Fall. I really hope this Viking brand malt turns out to be enjoyable. It was significantly less expensive than other traditional German malts. Made in Finland. Guess we’ll see how well they do pilsner malt!
