EBC-Max 2,9

BEST Heidelberg

BEST Heidelberg is a malt made from special, quality malting barley varieties that are less prone to coloring during the malting process. BEST Heidelberger is particularly suitable for the production of especially light beers. The protein content of the malt is usually somewhat lower than that of a classic Pilsener malt from the corresponding harvest, but it has high extract values and very active enzymes.

Base malt for Pale Ales, Pale Premium Pilsner and Pilsner beers, ‘light’ beers, as emzyme-rich and light-colored basis for all beer styles.
