General question regarding this malt. I have brewed both a helles and an italian style pilsner using this as the base malt, both using a hochkurz decoction mash, and both using 34/70 yeast. I found that both beers tasted too malty for the styles, and my italian pilsner tastes a bit like cough syrup: Malty, sweet, and with a slight cherry flavor.
Has anyone else found that barke imparts too much of a grainy/malty flavor for light styles?
