Im keen at trying out a pilsner. After searching on the net last night i found this recipe. What do you guys think and what type of yeast can i use or can i reculture from a commercial pils of any type???? Can i play around with it to make it better. Ive only done 1 pilsner and that was a year or 2 ago and that been K&k. Ive got a brew fridge so fermenting at lower temps aint a hassle.

1 can Coopers Liquid Malt Extract
1.5kg German Pilsner Malt grain
0.5kg Light Munich Malt grain
0.2kg Carapils Malt grain
12g Northern Brewer Hops Pellets (9.3%AA) @60 mins
30g Saaz Hops Pellets @ 1min
1 x Whirlfloc Tablet @ 15 mins

You could use two sachets of W34/70 to ferment that recipe with and then repitch an Oktoberfest wort onto the yeast cake after you rack the first brew to secondary....I've found that well managed lager yeast rewards brewers who repitch onto large, healthy, viable yeast cakes...

Cheers,
