Brewing a Czech (Bohemian) Pilsner - Grain to Glass HD

In this video I show you how to brew a classic Czech Pilsner or Bohemian Pilsner. This classic style is a very clean, pale and crisp lager with a noticeable hop bitterness that sets it apart from its German cousin. The final beer turned out at 5.8% ABV with 42 IBUs, a little strong for the style, but overall still quite nice. I wish it was lighter colored still and had more hop nose but I was very pleased with the results nevertheless as it was only my second lager ever.
