Your Shout
For all you your home-brew beer, wine and spirits supplies.
This is a noble brew with a crisp finish.
This Dutch Pilsner is straw-coloured in appearance with a moderate, lingering bitterness. The yeast employed is a classic strain that leaves a slightly estery aroma that is typical of Pilsners from The Netherlands. When used with our light DME to make an all-malt beer, the combination of ingredients makes a Pilsner very true to the region.
The yeast under the lid is an 11.5g pack of Fermentis S-23 lager yeast which is commonly used by large breweries in Western Europe.
This product is designed to be used with WilliamsWarn Light Dry Malt Extract and water to make 23 litres (6 US gallons/5 Imp. Gallons) of wort. Original Gravity of 1.040-1.048 (10°P- 12°P), fermented to a Final Gravity of about 1.009 (2.3°P), resulting in 4.1-5.2% alcohol by volume, 22 Bitterness Units and 3 SRM/6 EBC colour.
Ferment at 15°C/59°F for 3 days and then increase to 18°C/64°F for a diacetyl rest to complete fermentation after another 3 days. Cooling can be put on at Day 6 when the SG should be about 1.009.
