Muntons Gold Pilsner

[scottish69]

Hi Chaps,

Ive had my muntons gold pilsner in the bottles conditioning for a couple of weeks (1 week RT, 1 week in fridge).

Opened one last night for a test... baically its pretty good, no depth of flavor though and an acidic high end which tastes like that in carbonated water.

1. Will the depth of flavor come over the next couple of weeks?
2. Will the depth of flavor balance out that acidic top end?
3. Is there any way of stopping the acidic top end i.e. priming with something other than brewing sugar?

Cheers!

I have a Muntons Pilsner conditioning at the moment. It has been in the cold just over a week and I tried one last night.

I thought the same as you it tasted pretty good but without much flavour. Not sure what you mean by the acidic high end as this was my first brew

Going to 'try' and leave it another couple of weeks before I drink another.

Basically its just a harsh top note - similar to that of a carbonated water.

The depth of flavor isnt there - not compared to a normal lager even i think thats my point.

Its very drinkable dont get me wrong, so is moving up to extract brewing going to give me a much better taste?

Hi,

I have the Muntons Pilsner conditioning in bottles this very moment. They've been in a cold outhouse now for about 3 or 4 weeks and I can tell you that it gets much better given a little time. Have also got a Coopers Wheat beer going and you can certainly tell the difference between a 2-can kit (Muntons) and the Coopers - a lot more flavour.

So, my advice would be to be patient and you'll be rewarded!!
