Had my first pilsner urquell since i began to homebrew again last night. I had forgotten how much I like it. Would love a recipe if anyone has one that comes close

To properly do a Pilsner beer you need to be able to ferment and lager for long periods of time at low temperatures (4-12C). If you do not have a spare fridge with good temperature control I fear you will always be a bit dissapointed with the result.

If I were to do a simple pilsner I would probably use:

Morgans Canadian Pilsner
Morgans Lager Malt
Wyeast 2001 Pils Urquell yeast

Made up to 20L and fermented for 2 weeks @ 10C for at least 2 weeks then lagered at 4C for a further 1-2 months.
