The question is: Is Trumer such a good Pils b/c they do endosperm mashing or b/c they just happen to brew a great Pils. I can’t imagine that endosperm mashing makes a huge difference. It is not widely employed at all and I did have a few great Pilsners in Germany.

Yeah, that is a good question.  And one we'll maybe never be able to answer.

I know Carafa can be purchased dehusked, but I'm not sure about Pils. Then there's acid dehusked malt. If Trumer is  producing beer with naked malt, then it is probably commercially available. The question still remains...will it make a difference?

Not only is it my favorite pils, it's one of my all time favorite beers.  It's on tap several places around Eugene.


Name a place it's on tap, would you.  I'd like to try it next time I'm over the hill.

Trumer is not using naket malt. They are seperating husks and endosperm themselves.

Right now, it's a guest tap at Eugene City Brewery.  It's also regularly at Marche and La Perla.

They also have a brewery in Berkley CA since they found the water there is an exact duplicate of the water they use in Germany.

I don't know about that... I've never seen so many taps in one bar in my life as when I was in CA.  I think its kinda like Mexico... drink the beer, don't drink the water.   :D     JK....

Kai,
if 120 minutes is short, I'd hate to see what 'long' is.
I'd say something witty down here, but I'm at a bit of a disadvantage in that department.

mashed used to take 3-4 or even more hours since they would dough in lower than 140 F and also run a number of decoctions.
