WW Dutch Pilsner 50 Litre Kit

Dutch Pilsner Complete Kit.

This is a noble brew with a crisp finish. Our Dutch Pilsner is straw-coloured in appearance with a moderate, lingering bitterness. The yeast employed is a classic strain that leaves a slightly estery aroma that is typical of Pilsners from The Netherlands. When used with our light DME to make an all-malt beer, the combination of ingredients makes a Pilsner very true to the region. This pack includes 2x 1.7kg cans of Dutch Pilsner, 1x 3kg bag of Dry Malt Extract and 2x 11.5g packs of Fermentis S-23 lager yeast which is commonly used by large breweries in Western Europe. Original Gravity of 1.045 (11.25°P), fermented to a Final Gravity of about 1.009 (2.3°P), resulting in 4.8% alcohol by volume, 22 Bitterness Units and 3 SRM/6 EBC colour. Ferment at 18-28ºC / 64-77ºF (ideally near the middle of this range).

To elevate the fresh hop aroma of this style, we recommend the brewer make a hop tea of 1-2 oz. (28-56 grams) of any aroma hops in a French coffee press. Add approx. 900ml of boiled water, cooled to 80°C, to the hops. Stir and then steep for 30 minutes. Plunge the solids and add the green, filtered hop tea to the mix of ingredients in your fermenter (before adding the yeast).
