Classic pilsner strain from the home of pilsners for a dry, but malty finish. The perfect choice for pilsners and bock beers. Sulfur produced during fermentation dissipates with conditioning.
Notes
I used 2.5 lbs of basmati rice for this recipe, and I would use another pound If I made it again.....

yeast produces a strong sulfur smell for about 4-6 weeks....do not bottle this beer before the off gasing period is complete.......if aged properly this is a really good beer......raw rice is cheap and adds the same flavor as flaked rice but you need to used 3-4 times more product in each batch...I rebrewed this beer with a small ammount of oats, which added a really nice flavor to this pilsner...the bitterness is too low for some people.....but those people have much to learn about brewing beer.....a fine beer is not bludgeoned with hops, nor does it lack a distinct hop flavor...keep that in mind when brewing.....
