"Czechmate" Premium Czech Pilsner BIAB Kit

"Czechmate" Premium Czech Pilsner BIAB Kit

€27,95

A pale, crisp and refreshing Czech pilsner with a clean malt character and plenty of classic Saaz hop flavour.

Czechmate starts with a large base of Pilsen malt, with smaller additions of Vienna and Munich adding subtle bready malt depth. The generous Saaz hop schedule delivers the floral, herbal and lightly spicy character that makes Czech pilsners so distinctive.

Fermented cold with a lager yeast and given time to mature, Czechmate produces a beautifully clean, refreshing beer with a firm but balanced bitterness.
