Black Rock Crafted Wakatu Pilsener

Black Rock Crafted Wakatu Pilsner is brewed to deliver a crisp and refreshing Pilsner experience with a bright, golden hue. NZ Green Bullet hops are added at the boil to provide a moderate bitterness, while NZ Wakatu™ hops are used for dry hopping to enhance the aroma.

This Crafted Wakatu Pilsner pours a bright golden colour with an SRM of 12, offering a clean and crisp malt profile. The 100% MaltEurop Pilsner Malt provides a light and refreshing body with a subtle sweetness. The bitterness from NZ Hops Green Bullet™ is moderate, contributing to a balanced finish with an IBU of 20. At 4.5% ABV, this Pilsner is both sessionable and thirst-quenching, making it perfect for any occasion.

For best results, brew Black Rock Crafted Wakatu Pilsner with Black Rock Unhopped Ultralight (or a second can of Black Rock Crafted Wakatu Pilsner to boost bitterness) & an 11.5g sachet of Fermentis Yeast: SafLager™ W-34/70.

For a craftier option, try 50-200g of dry hop at day 6 of fermentation.

NZ Pilsner: Use Nelson Sauvin™ and/or Motueka for a unique blend of fruity and earthy tones.
