Chechoslovakian Pilsner

The best example of this classic is the famous Pilsner Urquell. This original style from Pilsen is golden in colour, malty, clean with the soft assertion of the famous Czech Saaz Hops (pronounced zots). It is about 4.5% alc/vol.

Ingredients

250 g dextrin (cara-pils) malt
3 kg light liquid unhopped malt extract

72 g Saaz Hops (30 min boil)
20 g Saaz Hops (8 min flavour)
60 g Saaz Hops (1 min finish)

Brewing

This was an interesting brew. The wort smelled like tomato soup before adding the hops. After boiling the wort I racked it into the primary fermenter. As you can see the mixture is caramel in colour.
