L-wood Spring Ale
Kölsch • Partial Mash • 5.4 gal
This is one of my favorite recipes I have created. I was attempting to clone Sam Adams Spring Ale and didn't quite accomplish the goal. But still a very tasty kolsch style brew!

Wyeast 2565 Kolsch
Wyeast 2565 Kolsch
A hybrid of ale and lager characteristics. This strain develops excellent maltiness with subdued fruitiness, and a crisp finish. Ferments well at moderate temperatures.
Notes
Infusion mash - 90 minutes @ 155 degrees. I use around 1 qt. of water per lb. of grain. Put grains in a large muslin bag (inside a 2-3 gallon cooler works well) for 90 min. Pull out grain bag an rinse in brew pot water (170 degrees). Add the wort from the cooler to brew pot, bring to boil, then add malt extract.
