Who's using this malt and what do you think of it ?
What differences if any, are you picking up with NZ Pils from say, Weyermann or English ?
Would you continue to use it, based on price or results ?
Cheers.
Paul.

I've used it a bit, with mixed results. It's quite grassy, lacks the more intense German malt flavours or the nuttiness of MO. For me it seems to suit light lagers, but struggles with heavy hop additions, especially NZ hops - the beer becomes way too green and grassy (same with high grav beers I've made with it). I've got a sack which I plan on using this summer for lawnmower quaffers, can't wait!
Mark, I have to agree totally with your observations. This was the kind of comment I was looking for.
I have a pilsener style beer thats been bottled for a few months and was quite harsh from the start and did not seem to carry the hops. I wouldn't call it heavily hopped but it has a decent amount.
It has finally mellowed out after something like 6 months in cold storage and has lost almost all that harshness now. Its seems better ballanced now and I'm finally happy with it. I have another lighter style pilsener which I toned the hops down a bit, this is drionking very well after 5 weeks at lager temps.
I intend using a little "other" malt addition with this pils malt from now on, to lift the malt profile just a tad.
Not sure what. I don't want crystal in there, maybe a small addition of Munich, or simply just Carapils for body. I'm talking about a simple grain bill here, I wouldn't hestitate to use it in a more complex grain bill.
