Fruit Pilsner

Previously I along with Chief Co-Brewer Nick kicked off a promising pilsner using the following:

• 1.7Kg Black rock Pilsner
• 1.5Kg Morgans Unhopped Pale Malt Extract
• 50g Saaz Hop Pellets
• Saflager w34/70 Yeast.

We did a boil up and fermented for about two weeks then racked for five days, the taste before racking was excellent and the taste before bottling was fantastic. Sadly the local homebrew shop is all out of Saaz hops so we are having to delay the next batch.

Over the next few days we are going to try and find a new homebrew supplier as the current bloke is hardly Mr Customer Service. Infact it is probably the single worst experiance I have had while buying something, topped off today by not being aware of his own stock and general ongoing rudeness.

Aside from that, the aim is to create a similar style pilsner (perhaps bang up the OG to give it abit more of a kick) however try and rack it over some fruit - probably strawberries or raspberries. I will keep you posted on how this goes , plus the inital tastings of the first Pilsner.
