I reckon Boston's second PDF posted is the recipe I'll be following.
Stable temps of 10-12 until she's nearly done, 48 hour rest at around 18 then rack and cold condition at 2 until bottling time.
If it needs more hops then it needs more hops but everyone here seems to like to add 750 kg to every brew and I prefer a tad less. I want to challenge myself but I also want to present a beer that represents me.
Sounds good mate! Looking at that PDF, it looks like you are brewing a SMASH Munich/Bohemian/Pilsen/Prague Helles hybrid more so than a Pilsner due to the low hopping rates. The only thing is a helles doesnt have allot of Hop flavour, mainly just bitterness. Either way im sure it will be a kickass beer. Maybe i'll brew a Pilsner of some sorts, a helles and a Marzen and weigh up whats best for the swap... that is of course if i have time.
