Light easy boil reduces Maillard reactions and keeps this very pale.
Use quality fresh ingredients for best results on this beer! The rice is optional but I find it dries the beer out and leaves a better crisp flavor. Glucoamylase - 10 mL will do the same thing.
Mash at a low temp 149-150° for a light body.
Use very low mineral content pure water. I start with distilled and add very little mineral salts.
Medium carbonation, to much will give a carbonic bite off flavor.
I've also tried WLP940 Mexican lager yeast,(supposedly from Modelo) that turns out a wonderful pils. Wyeast 2206 and WLP860, (860 gives a more malty flavor), is surprising tasty also given enough lagering time. Stay away from the Saaz hops if substituting as the spicy peppery taste will hide everything else.
Use the correct glassware to drink.
Very dry and clean that attenuates well producing a tasty crisp pilsner. It pours with an extremely bright white head that dissipates to a thin line that lasts. Clear and brilliant.
