Ingredients (All Grain5 gal)

  • 8.25 lbs American 2-row

    Yields a slightly higher extract than Six Rox brewers Malt. Tends to give a smoother, less grainy flavored beer. Some brewers claim they can detect a significant difference in flavor. Lower protein and will yield a lower color than Six-Row Brewers Malt

  • 1.5 lbs White Wheat Malt

    This yeast is famous for its clean flavors, balance and ability to be used in almost any style ale. It accentuates the hop flavors and is extremely versatile.

Notes

Welp, this if my first attempt at making a light colored beer. I don't know that it will turn out in the proper Kolsch style, but to be honest, this is more for party guests who will be here that don't appreciate some of the other beers I've made, like the Double IPA, Imperial Stout, or American Wheat beer. I made up this recipe yesterday using leftover stuff I had from previous beers, and I thought the closest syle it fit was Kolsch, so that's where I categoriezed it. I'll let you know how it tirns out
