Czech pilsener all grain instructions for a newbie

[Jamesbeer]

My wife bought me the following ingredients from our local hone brew store in a prepacked kit. However, I have only used beer kits before so I have no idea how to make this brew.

4.5kg Pilsener Malt
100g Crystal Malt
HOPS
70g Saaz (60 min)
14g Saaz (10 min)
14g Saaz (End of boil)
FININGS
1 tsp Irish Moss (10 min)
YEAST
White Labs WLP800 Pilsner Yeast

Any ideas where I can get some basic (and i mean basic!) instructions on this forum or elsewhere?

Is it actual grain or dry or liquid extract?

BobbyM has a good all grain primer... Do you have Lager capability though? You need to be in the 45-50'ish range for fermentation and need to drop close to freezing for a month or two for the actual lagering.

It's actual grain.

It's actual grain. Is this ok?

So room temp is no good?

Boil it for 90 minutes!

Nope... might want to try another kit.

If you can't get it that cold, you could make this beer with a Kolsch yeast in the low 60's and get some of the same characteristics

For a beer that light/delicate, make sure you use 100% reverse osmosis or distilled water, unless you have perfect water where you live.
