Info

Weyermann Bohemian Pilsner Malt is a lager-style base malt produced from Czech barley varieties Bojo and Tolar. The Czech-grown grain is processed specifically for "Bohemian" characteristics to impart a full body, golden-blond color, and complex maltiness to the finished brew. It's perfect for authentic Bohemian pilsners and Belgian ales, but is well-suited to any beer style that requires a solid malt presence.
