Beer Style: Kölsch (6C)
Recipe Type: extract
Yield: 5 US gallons
Description:
Delicious Kolsch Ale - medium weight, not very bitter, very refreshing.
Ingredients:
- 5 lbs. Pilsen dry malt extract (DME)
- Specialty Malts: 0.75 lb Belgian Pale Ale Barley, 0.75 lb Caravienna, 0.25 lb Crystal 40
- Hops (pellets): 0.75 oz. Fuggle at 60 min. and 0.75 oz. Amarillo at 5 min.
- Kolsch Yeast, White Labs WLP02
- 4 oz. dextrose for bottling
Additional Instructions
Primary Ferment: 2 weeks
Procedure:
Soak the specialty malts in a mess bag at about 150 degrees F for an hour. Pull them out. Add DME being careful to avoid a boil over. After all the DME is dissolved, bring to a full boil and add Fuggle. Boil for an hour. Five minutes before the hour is up, add the Amarillo.
Cool the wort, pitch the yeast, ferment in a carboy for 2 weeks. I did not use a secondary fermentation for this but you could. Add the dextrose before bottling.
