I've used both Bohemian Pilsner & Weyermann Pilsner with great results.  Either would be great in a Marzen I reckon.

I've never used  Malteurop simply because when I brew with pils malt it's usually for a beer where the base is fundamental to the style.  I've always seen Malteurop Pils as a lower quality malt than Weyermann but that it's OK if you're gonna add plenty of other character malts.  Maybe someone will correct me...

I don't know, I use Malteurop all the time as my standard base malt and find it ok.
But in response to the question, I can't really help as I'm brewing ales with it and with a fairly big proportion of specialties ....

Hi Grant, I had this same question a while ago: http://www.forum.realbeer.co.nz/forum/topics/malturop-pilsen-malt?x...

I bought a sack and was very pleased with the results; although, like jt, I only made ales.

Thanks.

 

Guess I'll have to try them all over time. Maybe I'll get a couple of kilos of both and make 4litre batches of test brew with each to find my preference.

Yeah.. gonna give them all a go.

 

Going to brew 3 small Marzen style beers but only change the base pilsner malt. It'll be interesting to see/taste the difference.
