The new Kölsch…

Whipped up the following tonight.  Should be a great summer beer if I can control the temperature and lager it properly.

Kölsch

9.25 lbs Pilsen LME

1.5 lbs Wheat LME

 

Bring 3 gallon wort to a boil

Hops Additions:

60min – 1oz German Hallertauer hops (3.9% alpha).

30min – .5oz hallertauer hops

15min – .5oz hallertauer hops.  Add 2 tsp irish moss at this stage, as well.

Used a Wyeast Kolsch variety yeast.  I’ll let this one take off fermenting then drop the temp to 55-60° and let it lager.  May try to go cooler (45-50°) for as long as 4 weeks if I can.

 

 

The next batch…

So the Summit IPA turned out GREAT.  By far the best batch of beer I’ve made.  Next up, I have a brown ale and a Kölsch – the latter of which will be PERFECT for the hot summer evenings here in California.

Hops for the next batches…
