Lagerbeer

Stew, don't forget the original intent of your post,
If you brew a Kolsch or a bohemien pilsener you will have two really good beers which you would be able to appreciate :thumb:
But your lager louts will turn there noses up at them because they will have real flavours

Sod it. Drink 32 pints of water, piss in a cornie all night, carbonate it and bob's your uncle.

ooooh you're batch size is close to mine... that wont take much converting

the only ingredient i've got out of those is wheat malt :lol: how hard are the other ingredients to come by? i only recognise a few of them from the usual suspects

Traditional Pilsner would have been all Czech Saaz . . . but thats a lot of hops :lol: . . .The NZ Saaz B are really just Czech Saaz on Steroids and you can get them from Craftbrewer I used to bring in a load but since Farams got in on the act NZ Hops wont sell to me anymore , and the majority of the NZ crop this year has been ring fenced for the big boys . . . Which means that we have to go to Aus to get them . . . it actually works out cheaper that way too

You can replace the Pilsner Malt with British Lager . . . and don't really have to use the Munich, but I like too.

Tony, Have you tried D Saaz/Riwaka? I guess it's a bit too C-hop for your tastes. I've heard that one of the NZ pilsners uses a blend of B and D Saaz for finishing.
