This kit makes a wonderful Pilsner. I used distilled water and adjusted the water mineral profile to "PseudoBohPils" in Bru'n Water. Built up a starter with Wyeast 2124. It was about six weeks between brew day and bottling. Had a thorough diacetyl rest and rather than lagering, I cold crashed and fined with gelatin. My fermentation schedule was a little weird, but the results were great. I ended up with a beautiful, crystal clear, tasty pilsner that I was proud to serve. It disappeared quickly. I would be happy to brew this again.
