Nice Pils

Nice and clean pilsner. My first time using a lager yeast, I used saflager (Supplied with can). I also added 10 grams of saaz hops as a hop tea to the primary fermentor. Fermented at about 10C for 2 weeks, 2 day rest and then cold condition for 2 weeks. Next time I would leave the 10 grams of saaz hops out as it has a grassy taste. otherwise great!

Brewed this one in 2008 & drank the last one recently. Keeps well! Brewed it at 13C for 3 wks, 2ndary at same temp for 5 wks. Contrary to other reviews posted here, I found it plenty bitter for a pils. Smooth finish. Very pleasant.

E.S.B Czech Pilsner

 I brew this quite regularly with the addition of 150g Carapils and 15g Czech Saaz - ferment using WLP802 yeast at 12C for 2 weeks rack and condition for at least 2 more. Lovely!

Czech Saaz

Made this per instructions, but with 10*C temperature. This is pretty good flavour-wise, but the finish is not bitter enough nor dry enough IMO to be a good czech pils. I'm going to re-do this kit with a czech liquid yeast (WLP802) and 200g cara-pils, plus an extra 10 IBUs of saaz bittering. Then I think it will be a 4.5 score.

Bouncing Czech

Brewed with the addition of strained Saaz hops after 6-7 mins soaking in boiled water. After 4 weeks in the bottle - Superb. Hazy golden colour, outstanding head and wonderful clean, hoppy taste. Good times ahead!

nice one ESB

This brewed a nice drop. I added some saaz to it as well. The yeast sediment was very light in the bottle and clouds the beer easily. Will definately rack it next time.

Summertime pilsner

Fermented using yeast supplied, 1 week in primary, 1 week in secondary then bottled. Very refreshing and bitter perfect for a hot summers day, I would make again plus the ease of using the 3kg pack makes it even better.
