Looking for advice to add body to a pilsner

[Steve0408]

[SIZE=10.5pt]Hi Guys[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt] I'm planning to brew this pilsner this weekend, I have done it before and like it a lot my only criticism is it’s a little watery/ week of body.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]Can anyone recommend how I may make it slightly more heavy like Belgium brews such as Stella?[/SIZE]

Add some carapils. I am currently using 4% in my German pils and double that in a boh pils. It will give you some body.

What mash temps are you planning?
Yeast type?
Does your water profile suit a pilsner?

These are what I'd be thinking about and/or adjusting to add more body.

Step mash and/or cara something (carapils, caramunich etc).
