well after some dire results from kit brewing, lagers, I was ready to give up on the whole home brew hobby. The only kit that was good and drinkable was the Magnum strawberry cider, which the Missus polished off to herself over Xmas, I don't like Cider. So after long PM exchange with Pittsy, he said I should try extract brewing with the aim of moving up into BIAB/AG at a later date, he sent me this extract pilsner recipe.....Extract pilsner

I've just done an Extract Plisner too, been slowly fermenting at 12C for the past 2 weeks and I've just brought it into the warm for a 2-day diacetyl rest.
