Making a Pilsner

[Darrens]

Need your help guys, want to make a pilsner with extract please. Would appreciate any recipes.
Also what temp I would be best to ferment at and yeast to use.
Im hearing saaz is a great hop to use of which I have some in the freezer.
Appreciate everyone's feedback.
Darren.

I'm not sure about doing it with extract, but Saaz is the king Pilsner hop... (imho)
i'm still hunting Pilsner too, it's hard to get these lager styles right

Saaz IS the Pilsner hop

Buy a quality pale extract like briess or weyermann.

Use Czech saaz throughout and make sure it's fresh.

Use a proper lager yeast and pitch the correct dose of fresh, healthy yeast.

Pitch cool and allow fermentation to slowly rise throughout, diacetyl rest then slowly down to cold temps and keep cool for several weeks.
