LAGER MALT - Can be made from almost any brewing barley but most commonly Halcyon. It is kilned at a slightly lower temperature than pale malt to give a lighter colour and a more delicate flavour.Lager malt can be mashed perfectly well with the normal one temperature infusion mash.The difficult and time consuming decoction mash is unnecessary.

So in a nutshell mash as you would normally.

Thanks very much. Fermentation of lager types is ower though. As i understand it around 12 is optimal.

thanks again.
