Muntons / Morgans Pilsner Cans

[jaypes]

Just wondering if anyone has used these before and if they turned out alright. I am looking to make a Czech Pilsner and have a partial recipe saying that you cant get hops flavour in a can - is this completely true?

Bear in mind my newb pallate is not as refined as some of you more distinguished folk here

I've used the Mangrove Jacks Pils kit twice (with brew enhancer) and it was a really nice drop, I'd recommend that one, it was quite a hoppy beer with a nice bitter aftertaste.

Did you add anything extra? Or was it just the can + enhancer?

Just the kit and this enhancer - http://www.greatexpectations.co.nz/shop/Be...sner+No.62.html

The second time around I used the us-05 yeast, but the kit yeast is fine, I just wanted to experiment.

The Golden Saaz pilsener is my choice of kit beers. Nice easy session beer with a good Saaz zing. Quite a few non-homebrew drinkers were almost complimentary about it. Now that I gave some Saaz hops in the freezer I'm tempted to throw some in as a dry hop whilst cold conditioning. If some is good, then sure surely more is better!

I used the kit + kit yeast + 1kg brew-booster and used temp controlled fermentation at 13 degrees and then cold conditioned at 1 degree for 5 days, then filtered into keg and force carbonated in 4 degree keg fridge for 5 days. So I suppose you could say lagering for 10 days.

It definitely got better towards the end of the keg so I'd like to cold condition it for 3 or 4 weeks before drinking, but honestly who can wait that long. Maybe with my new keg fridge which will allow about 4 kegs in it.

Thanks, I was leaning towards the Morgans - will give it a shot

I used the Thomas Coopers pilsner kit from my LHBS.. They had the morgans as well but i stuck with coopers. I infused some saaz hops and meant to dry hop more saaz but didn't. Next time I will dry hop the saaz as well.
If you go with the morgans, let us know the results..
