Ingredients (All Grain5 gal)

  • 10 lbs Maris Otter Pale

    Maris Otter Pale

    An English thoroughbred and a favored choice of malt for many brewers. Simpsons' Maris Otter has a rich and nutty flavor and despite its small, berry size has a strong husk. This malt delivers predictable brewhouse performance with modest, yet consistent extracts. Brewers can expect good runoffs with clear wort.

  • White Labs WLP029 German Ale/Kölsch

    White Labs WLP029 German Ale/Kölsch

    From a small brewpub in Cologne, Germany, this yeast works great in Kölsch and Alt style beers. Good for light beers like blond and honey. Accentuates hop flavors, similar to WLP001. The slight sulfur produced during fermentation will disappear with age a

Notes

I am using the Kolshe yeast because I have it already on hand. Plus, it's a clean fermenter with a slightly fruity flavor described by the Sam Adams website; and the site calls for a cold conditioning (in the stock ale tradition), so I believe the yeast is a good fit. For the hop additions, I am actually using an equal mixture of the three hops for all three additions to add depth....Plus I am goint to use a mild dry hop with all three hops.
