The recipe I'm about to describe is a Classic American Pilsner extract recipe that uses an Extra Light DME and some Crystal 10L steeping grains. This style of beer had it's origins in Prohibition Era America brewed by immigrant German brewers when they settled in America. In keeping with the original style I have selected native American Cluster hops for bitterness, flavor and aroma.
I used qBrew's default 'Classic American Pilsner' style guidelines to crunch the recipe's numbers.
