Czech Pilsner Extract Kit

O.G: 1047 / Ready: 2 months

"All beers were dark... until 1842" writes beer critic Michael Jackson, "when a brewery in Pilsen, Bohemia, introduced a lager... that was golden and clear." Pilsner, named for its hometown, has enjoyed incredible popularity for over 150 years and has been interpreted time and again by brewers worldwide. You've had the rest (American macrobrews) now homebrew the best. Northern Brewer's Czech Pilsner is faithful to the original: rich gold in color, caramelly-malty in body, and bursting with the spicy aroma of the Saaz hop.
