Doing three brews sequentially over consecutive weekends for the upcoming spring/summer season. I like to keep the beers light and drinkable for refreshing enjoyment in the hot weather. I am still doing extract and do not have the capability to do very large boils.
Looking for feedback on the recipe designs.

House Pilsener
Concept: First stab at a pilsener. Bought a used fridge with a temperature controller. No real expectations except for trying to do some lager fermentation. No idea what will happen or if the recipe will be gross or delicious.
