It's been many years since I have lived in Germany, but the thing I've missed most is a good glass of German Pilz. I've grown weary of drinking the imported brands and have decided to pursue making my own. Can anyone recommend an available kit to start with that will produce a smooth full bodied German style pilz with a good head? Thanks in advance.
There are all sorts of websites on the net that will lead you in the right direction as well as a few newsgroups. You can try this for starters
Starting out with making a good pilsner really is like jumping in at the deep end. You'll need something like an old fridge or freezer with an aftermarket temperature controller and a lot of attention to detail. Done properly, most decent kits (Muntons, Brewcraft etc) will give you good results.
If Brewcraft products are available to you (I think they're made by Muntons) then they have a selection of kit converters that replace the sugar
If you're really serious about doing pilsners or any lagers then invest about $US16 at
Good point but I think Noonans book is for the more advanced brewer. Start with How to Brew by John Palmer and then move on to Noonans book. This is from experience. Steve W.
