Notes
For a Czech Pilsner, Mangrove Jack's M84 Bohemian Lager is the pick. It leaves a rounder, maltier profile than a crisp German strain, which is what separates a Bohemian Pilsner from a German one, and it ferments cold and clean.
Keep it in the 10 to 15 C band and lager it cold. Beer over 7% alcohol can finish slightly sweet, so keep it to standard Pilsner strength.
