Kölsch • All Grain • 6.75 gal
Jamil's recipe for a classic Kolsch beer, slightly modified to fit my style. This is a very light colored, clean, and easy drinking beer.

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
Mash at 148F for 90 min. Boil 90 min. Ferment at 60F. *Note: the yeast used was actually Wyeast 2575 Kolsch II (VSS strain). Also, I added a 5 minute hop addition which Jamil does not do. I am not sure why the color is coming out so light on this one, Jamil's prediction is darker.

Brewed 5/23/08

Brewed it on 5/23/08, 8AM. Used all spring water. For the first time I used a coffee grinder to grind up my whole hops into a fine powder which I used the same as pellets (pitched directly into wort without a bag). This worked extremely well. Hit target gravity of 1.049. Forgot the Whirlfloc because I was preoccupied with new chilling method: Recirculated wort in the boil kettle to pre-chill. Recirculated while boiling for 5 minutes first to sanitize the counterflow chiller and tubing. Then, turned on chilling water and extinguished flame. Recirculated for about 10 minutes before using ice and running the wort to the carboy as normal. Finishing wort temp was still only down to about 68F. Chilled to 60F in fridge, then pitched yeast around 7PM. Used VSS strain 2575 Kolsch II. It was active by morning. Used blow off tube. After 3 days of fermentation at 60F it finally blew off. Raised temp 1 degree. Plan to raise another 1 degree tomorrow, and then follow up with diacetyl rest at 64F for 1 day after fermentation ends. #68

Kegged it, carbed it, tasted it. Turned out really nice. Very close to the style guidelines. It's still cloudy though, so I'll post more detailed tasting notes after it has had about a month to settle out and finish up. OG = 1.049 FG = 1.006 ADF = 88% ABV = 5.6% Brewhouse Efficiency = 80%
