Better Brew Czech Pilsner

[brianbrewed]

Does anybody have any experience doing this kit.
I stuck it in the Secondary fermenter three days ago and it seems to have settled at 1.020.
I started brewing it on 16th using a pouch of the craft range LME.

Had a sneaky sip from my trial jar.
Tastes lovely

Thinking of trying this one.........how has it turned out for you

[LordEoin]

it's a good kit but i thought it had a  bit of a homebrew 'twang'.
Coopers Pilsner would be my favorite

brewed to the recipe it should end up around 1.010, but because you used 3.6kg of LME in total it'll be a bit higher.
even at that 1.020 sounds a bit high, I would have expected it to finish up closer to 1.014
What temperature is the beer?

I did the I.P.A from the Better Brew company and it was lovely. It just got better and better the longer I left them in the bottles.

I'm not sure what the temp was when I measured the FG but I got the same measurement after seven days. But I do have a feeling that the temp was a bit lower than usual.
I bottled them two or three days ago and they haven't exploded yet

Had a glass of the Better Brew Czech Pilsner last night.
Not bad but it does have a bit of a homebrew 'twang.'
If I did this again I would add some hops, probably Saaz or Hersbrucher.
For the price a passable brew.

Stupid question perhaps but the Coopers Pilsner does that have to be brewed like a lager and then crash chilled for months on end or is it like a normal brew ? 

[brianbrewed]

The 'Better Brew' Czech Pilsner, as far as I know doesnt come with a true 'Lager' yeast so can be brewed at normal ale temps.
The first few bottles I had two weeks in weren't that great to be honest.
But after a little over 4 weeks the flavour has improved.
It won't win any rewards but is decent.

had a btl of beer last night from this kit, can of lme and saaz hops added. was well impressed with it, would recommend it if any body intrested in making a pilsner kit.

will find out when hops were added and how long it's being bottled.
