Very disappointing

Did everything right:

Morgans premium lager yeast, fermented at a constant 21.5 (I do not have fermentation temp control) monitored closely!

Morgans Saaz finishing hops & 1 Kg of Ultrabrew.

It looks like cat's pee, taste is bland. IBU very low & almost zero hop aroma or taste.

Don't bother there are many better kits, Morgans need to do something about this product!

Has potential

my friends liked it a lot but I didn't. Made it up with 1.5 kg of light malt extract, 500 g of corn sugar and  12 g of saz hops. Came out way too sweet for my taste even though hydrometer was at .016. Seemed to be lacking in hops as well. I blame the yeast on this one. I give it a 3 with potential for 4

Morgans Saaz

Added 1kg 'Ultra Brew' and 12g of Saaz hops. Racked for two weeks after initial fermentation and bulk primed. Was disappointed, it felt thin and tasted bland, head retention was also poor. Improved with age (12 weeks) but still not great. Will try again in winter with lager yeast.

Not Flash

1 Tin, 250g LDM, 500g Dextrose, 250 Dried Corn Syrup, 15g Saaz Hops (Standard),Saflage Yeast and 23 litres Water. After making a couple of Morgans Blue Mountain Lager and being impressed I thought I'd give it a go. Not impressed at all, lacks depth, mouth feel, basically unimpressed.

Good but lacking

Made it basic with 400g of malt/dex/CS mix and another 500g of dry malt. Added around 80g of honey. Sugars disolved in water just off the boil and two packets of kit yeast used (had a spare). Taste was distinctly Saaz and easy to put down but no head and an unsettling urine colour. Very easy drinking though it doesn't reach its potential. Worth mucking around with the recipe and adding a lager yeast.

Saaz++

I brewed this tin with the supplied yeast (ale style) and a Brewcraft #62 Czech Pilsner Kit Converter "kilo". I probably should have let it sit/settle for longer, but the instructions were quite anxious about bottling before infection set in - which is fair enough. As long as you decant the beer from the lees, it's a fine brew! Combining the Morgan's philosophy (hot vs. boiling water, to preserve the hop aromas) makes a lot of sense, and I'll be using it with my future brews (Morgan's or otherwise.)

Liquid Gold

Brewed this up only with 1kg dex and 250g CS.Came out very good, better than all the other Pils that I have brewed with extra malt added.I will definately be make this one again however I will be added plenty of LLME this time and cutting back on the Dex

Disappointing Pils

Put down with 1kg of LDME and 20gm of Saaz pellets dry hopped. Fermenetd at 12-16 degrees over 2 weeks using Saflager S23. Had lovely dark golden colour but taste was very disappointing. No crisp Saaz taste on the palate and generally disappointing brew when compared to an Xtract Pilsner.

pretty darn good

Used as a base to which I added Saaz hop pellets in a boil with Morgan's extra pale liquid malt extract and a partial mash of 'Vienna' malted grain with Saaz finishing hops thrown in the fermenter. Saflager yeast fermented it at 14* C for 2 weeks in middle of winter. I also used quality purified water. The result is surprisingly good for an extract based Pilsener - nice golden colour, good mouthfeel, malty with Saaz hop character coming through. Very drinkable.

Cracking Pilsner

Hops Schedule: 15g hallertauer and saaz for 35min boil and 15g hersbrucker for 15min boil. I boil hops in about 2L of water to aid alpha acid utilisation in low boil volume. Fermentables: Golden Saaz Pilsner Morgans lager Malt Dextrose, 450g Maltodextrin, 300g Extra dextrose compensates for carbonating in kegs. O.G. 1.042 F.G. 1.012 Nice hop bitterness and aroma, good mouthfeel and head.

Brewed using kit yeast, 500g malt/250g dextrose/250g corn syrup and boiled 20 grams of saaz hops for 20 mins and dryhopped with 20gram saaz hops. Dry hopping was probably overdone, came out very grassy, took 2 months for grassy flavour to mellow however it is starting to come out nice now. (3 months later)
