I, for one, haven't tried it, I bought my Soufflet Pilsner for a specific project, which I still haven't got round to doing. I tend to avoid continental pales because they tend to be kilned off a bit darker than the English counterparts - Château being particularly dark - and they probably use different strains of barley. No reason to suspect they're not excellent malts, but not sure they're ideal for British styes.
This may sound strange but I have gone back to Rolling beers their delivery charges are better and quicker. Also with Brouwland you see a price then think good then have to add VAT . Nothing in brewing is usually needed next day but with Rolling the stuff I just ordered will be here tomorrow. I have ordered some Soufflet pale malt. You are right about the colour but I don't make too many pale beers and it is only 4.5-6.5 EBC more or less the same as Simpsons pale ale malt;
No I get vat excluded no idea why could be a preference issue? Any how I have been trawling through the Soufflet website trying to get more details about their pale ale malt and the only one I can find that matches the colour spec from their European maltsters is Bairds . I have no idea if it is though but surely when I recieve the sack there will be some reference as to the manufacturer?
Bairds is part of the Soufflet group. Most unlikely that Scottish Golden Promise is being flogged off by Rolling Beers, though. It's most likely to be French-grown barley malted at one their French plants.
