The raw grain of this latest sack didn't taste much different than Rahr pils to me. I brewed an EIPA awhile back and added 4lbs of it to 10lbs of GP. That beer tasted funky/dirty. I figured it was the yeast or my inability to brew English ales--bad track record with them. I ended up dumping it.
Well, 2 more batches using the same sack both have the same flavor. My Svetly' and my French/Bohemian IPL. I was't sure if I had an infection or process error and wanted to brew something NOT using that malt to see what was going on. That latest light beer using Rahr pils is perfect. If I had an infection somewhere it would have reared it's head in it.
Ken and I were both following a thread on the FB German brewing group where a couple of people said they had bad experiences with this malt tasting dirty/funky. Looks like Weyermann has a problem here. Sucks cuz I have a partial sack of it and another full sack of it.
