Canyon Kolsch
Kölsch • All Grain • 5 gal
I made this per the recipe in Beer Captured as my 3rd ever homebrew and my first attempt at all grain. I forgot to add one grain and used a dry malt instead. People loved it so I had to retry it with the proper grains. I also used yeast that I saved from a previous batch of Belgian Ale. I am very pleased with this batch and those that loved my first Kolsch are really loving this one!! Enjoy!!

Irish Moss - (omitted from calculations)
Irish Moss
A dried red-brown marine algae. Fining agent to remove large proteins. Negatively charged polymer attracts positively charged protein-tannin complexes (extracted from grain husks and hops) during the boil. This action is aided by the clumping of proteins in the boiling process. Irish moss settles to the bottom of the brew kettle with spent hops and hot break material at the end of the boil.
