Jack’s Classic American Pilsner

The following beer recipe is featured in the March/April 2020 issue of Zymurgy magazine. Access this issue along with the archives with Zymurgy Online!

This classic American Pilsner recipe comes courtesy of Jack Horzempa.

The recipe as written will gain body and a mild sweetness from the use of flaked maize (corn). For a lighter, crisper take on the style, replace the corn with flaked rice. And for a more modern interpretation, replace the six-row malt with your favorite North American two-row Pilsner malt. Any way you brew it, this classic American lager is sure to refresh!
