I just picked up a bag of said base malt for brewing a few hop forward saisons and a few white IPAs
Whilst having a pint at my favourite local brewery after passing through the LHBS i asked the brewer what he did about pilsner malt and DMS his answer went like this;
I have a closed boil kettle so it could be a problem BUT, i have condensation drains which, crazily, drain the condensation containing any DMS.
You as a home brewer with a substantial boil-off and open kettle have no problems with that and 60 min boil is perfect.
That being said this is my first bag of pilsner (i'm a pale ale/maris otter guy) so because I have hop dominated flavour profiles can all you pilsner heads give me some advice for mashing or do i continue with my infusion and sparge like normal and boil for 60 min and hide any possible vegetal flavours with hops?!?!
thanks in advance guys ; )
