Weyermann Barke Pilsner Malt 2.5-4.5 EBC

Weyermann® Barke® Pilsner Malt is a premium floor-malted style base malt made from the traditional German Barke® barley variety, prized for its rich flavour and exceptional brewing performance.

Compared to standard Pilsner malts, Barke® delivers a more intense malt character, with notes of fresh bread, honey, and subtle sweetness, while still maintaining excellent fermentability. Its colour range of 2.5–4.5 EBC provides a bright golden hue, making it perfect for both classic and modern beer styles.

This malt is especially valued by brewers seeking a full-bodied, authentic malt profile in lagers and ales alike.
