Beer Style: Kölsch  (6C)
Recipe Type: all-grain
Yield: 5 US gallons

Kölsch

Description:

Here's the recipe for the Koelsch that took first place in German Ales/ California Common at the 1994 HWBTA Nationals.

After several discussions with some *knowledgeable* brewers, I plan to change to the hopping profile to only German noble hops (Hersbrucker & Spalt). The honey will help dry the beer out, and the honey "tang" helps give the finished beer a slightly winy nose and palate.

Big thanks to Dave Brockington, Jim Busch, and Scott Bickham for the recommended tweaks.

Ingredients:

  • 5.0# D-C Belgian Pilsener Malt
  • 1.625# D-C Belgian Wheat Malt
  • 1.0# Ireks German Light Crystal
