Hoppy German Pilsner Brewcraft Premium Beer Ingredients Kit Traditional German pilsners are typically hoppier than Bohemian pilsner, MUCH hoppier than US pilsners/light lagers... and ours is hoppier still. A part of the perception of more hops is the lightness of the malt, but while we keep the bitterness moderate, we bump up the flavor and aroma of hops; a typical American interpretation of this style. And speaking of malt, in spite of being very pale in color and low in malt body and flavor- the flavor that is there is rich, complex and satisfying. Ferment as cool as you dare, down as low as 42°F at which temperature fermentation may take 3-4 weeks to complete. Then give the beer a 2 day rest at 60-65°F, follow your standard priming procedure, then a long lagering period in your bottles: 4-6 weeks.
