Perfect Pilsener
I wasnt trying to brew an Imperial, but due to efficiency gains it turned out that way. Therefore, I changed the hop schdule to increase the HBU's given the high alcohol content. This brew was a variation of my regular Pils, which is very drinkable. I'm an IPA guy myself, but my Pils is a big hit with the wife and neighbors - I must admit, I do like the change myself every so often!
