This is a recipe for Pre-Prohibition pilsner. Fermentation went well, lagered at 35F for 4 weeks then primed and kegged. Tapped the keg Septmber 2, and was very impressed. probably the best homebrew I've ever made. A pleasant lager with a nice, hard to-describe aftertaste, maybe the result of the rye, which I've never used before. Highly recommended recipe!!!
