Black Rock Classic Pilsner is a golden, premium easy drinking new world pilsner. Brew with 1kg Black Rock Liquid Brewing Sugar (or 1kg other sugar) for a classic crisp finish. For more body, colour and malt flavour use 1.7kg Black Rock Ultralight unhopped malt extract instead of sugar.

This Classic Pilsner pours a pale golden color with an SRM of 3, offering a clean and crisp malt profile. The 100% Pilsner malt provides a light and refreshing body with a subtle sweetness. The bitterness from NZ Hops Green Bullet™ is moderate, contributing to a balanced finish with an IBU of 16. At 4.5% ABV, this Pilsner is both sessionable and thirst-quenching, making it perfect for any occasion.

Costly, time-consuming all grain processes are not necessary to create quality craft wort at home. Discerning home brewers are always looking to improve their brewing techniques and beer quality. With this in mind, the master brewers at Black Rock have expertly brewed the highest quality fresh wort in a state-of-the-art Krones brewery, using only the finest fresh NZ malt before gently evaporating to 80 brix for your convenience.

For best results, brew Black Rock Classic Pilsner with Black Rock Unhopped Ultralight (or a second can of Black Rock Classic Pilsner to boost bitterness) & an 11.5g sachet of Fermentis Yeast: SafLager™ W-34/70.

For a craftier option, try 50-200g of dry hop at day 6 of fermentation.
