Weyermann Eraclea Pilsner Malt for Italian-Style Lager

Weyermann Eraclea Pilsner Malt is a pale base malt made from Italian malting barley grown in northern Italy near the Adriatic coast. Weyermann describes it as an aromatic malt for crisp, aromatic Mediterranean beers, with good processability, good yield, excellent foam values, high enzyme activity, and a malty-sweet profile with light honey notes.

Use it when the grist should support an Italian pilsner, German pilsner, pale lager, Mediterranean-style lager, American lager, pre-Prohibition lager, or Italian grape ale without adding heavy caramel or toast. Weyermann lists use up to 100% of the grist.

What It Adds

  • Flavor: malty-sweet foundation with light honey notes.
  • Color: very pale, with Weyermann listing 2.5-4.5 EBC / 1.4-2.1 Lovibond.
  • Performance: high enzyme activity, good yield, and strong foam values.
  • Best fit: Italian pilsner, pale lager, German pilsner, Mediterranean lager, and crisp American lager.

Recipe Planning

Build the grist around Eraclea when you want a pale lager base with a little more aromatic identity than a neutral malt. For more options, browse our brewing grains and specialty grains.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer grain milling services?

Yes, we provide grain milling services free of charge before shipping. To have your grain milled, please select the "Yes, please mill my grain" option on each grain product before adding it to your cart. We use a high-end, 3-roller mill from Spike, set to a standard gap of 4.5, which achieves optimal cracking while minimizing excessive flour. If you prefer a coarser or finer mill, leave a note in the shopping cart, and we’ll adjust it to your preference.

If we notice that most grains were selected for milling but a few were not, we will assume it was an oversight and mill all of them. If your intention is different, please clarify in the shopping cart notes section.

How do you ensure accuracy when weighing grains?

We take great care to ensure that you receive the correct grains in the exact quantities needed for your recipe. Our multi-step process ensures precision, starting with weighing each grain type individually to an accuracy of 0.08 ounces. After that, we perform a final check by weighing the combined total to confirm accuracy. Your total grain weight will always be slightly over the ordered amount, never under, and always within an acceptable range for even the most detail-oriented brewers (like ourselves).

How are grains packaged before shipment?

We provide a convenient recipe-building tool to streamline the process for you, our team, and the environment. We encourage you to use this tool to build your recipes, ensuring you get exactly what you’ve ordered in the correct quantities. By combining all the grains for a single recipe into one bag, we help speed up your brew day, reduce packaging waste, and save time during order fulfillment. Rest assured, we prioritize accuracy when measuring and packing your grains.
