Sounds good. I had pretty much stopped drinking Lager unless it was all that was on offer(my father in-law loves a Foster's ). Recently I have been really enjoying fresh craft Lagers and Brooklyn Amber Lager(not fresh). Mind you can't beat a Czech Amber with pork knuckle in PragueI’ve now kegged my Czech Pilsner and it actually tastes like it will be really good once it’s cleared. I think it tastes as good as some of my ales at this point and that’s quite a big statement from someone that’s not especially excited by lagers.
It is stronger than I planned having both a higher OG by a couple of points and a lower FG than expected finishing at 1004 rather than 1008. This puts the ABV at 6.3% so a little strong for a Czech Pilsner.
The colour looks good (to me anyway!) and it smells quite hoppy. I’m quite looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

wow, boil off 9 litres of wort. How long will that take, 3 Hours?
Depends how vigorous a boil you have and how much burnt sugar you want Honestly I don’t know - I’ll update you later for interest.
Looking forward to seeing thisI’ve figured out a way to accelerate the boil-off, I’ll put up a photo in a while.
What's your expected fg?
You be wrecked in the brew shed!
I think I might brew an Imperial stout after Christmas...for next Christmas! But I'll drop the batch size to under 20 litres.
Any recipe pointers?
