A Pilsner in the hand...

My first attempt at a lager, and what better to make than the beer that brought lager to the world.

Ingredients:
Thomas Cooper's Pilsner Kit
1kg Light Dried Malt Extract
200g Carapils, steeped
20g Saaz NZ (IBU: 7) 1 hr
25g Saaz NZ 30 mins
15g Saaz NZ 10 mins
Saflager S-23

Fermenting Notes:
Pitched at around 18C, hopefully doesn't prove to be a problem.

Bottling Notes:
Bottled 9/07/09. Tastings taken at bottling suggest that the later hop additions probably should have been slightly smaller, but paint me green and call me Gumby, it does smell nice.
