I let the mrs choose the next brew I will do after a few cheap kits with cane sugar (cheap, nasty but something to drink) and she would like a pilsner of sorts, dry and hoppy (and as cheap as possible) So heres my recipe:
Volume: 13.8L (3.5 US Gallons)
Method: Extract
Batch Name: New Zealand Pilsner
3.3lb Light Malt Extract (I dont know id I can get pilsner extract at the LHBS)
0.5oz Green Bullet (13% - 60 min)
0.9oz Saaz (4% - 15 min)
0.5tsp Irish Moss (10 min)
3.5oz Cane Sugar
SafLager S-23 West European Lager Yeast
IBU: 45
ABV: 3.4%
So... more saaz and less green bullet? What else? Bear in mind I am buying malt extract in 1.5kg (3.3lb) tins and dont really want to put two in as this will put the price right up. Doesnt need to be great, just refreshing and good to drink after a hard days work
Cheers,
Pommy
