Notes: Copy of Spring Kölsch, same grain bill, totally different hop profile, going for more fruity flavor with Citra and Crystal hops.
The mango aroma and flavor from the citra hops should be a really interesting match for the honey and smokey notes the Kölsch yeast imparts.
This is a good beer. Great with Pizza or a Hamburger on a hot day. Grandma liked it!!! :) |

Notes: The Basics:
I developed this recipe for a 6 gallon batch knowing that 1/2 a gallon will be left in the pot to avoid as much trub as possible. That said you will be fermenting 5.5 gallons.
All rest temperatures are in the tun, not strike water. You will need to calculate your strike water based on your grain temperature and type of mash tun you are using.
I use yeast starters in all of my recipes with what I think are excellent results. For my starters I compose the starter wort to closely approximate the sugar profile of the target batch. This helps the yeast develop the best cell membranes to ferment the final wort with little to no adjustment. I typically use a 1 quart starter for gravities 60 and above, and half quart for gravities below 60. I allow the starter to ferment a full 3 days to allow glycogen reserve buildup and settling. Then I pour out the first little bit of starter, pour the middle bit into a glass, then pour out the rest leaving mostly only the yeast cake. Then I smell and taste the bit in the glass to ensure there are no infections lurking. Sanitation is paramount.
The Beer:
I've brewed this batch a number of times. It is not at the high end of the Imperial/Double IPA spectrum, but it gives the drinker all the in-your-face hop aroma and flavor one could want, backed by balanced malt flavor and body. The Warrior hops are the cleanest high alpha hops I've found. Using them in the FWH and the boil set the foundation of the hop character of this beer. And while the remaining additions are all Centennial hop additions, because of the times and the fact that Centennial is already a complex hop, you get all the complexity you need. If you want to swap out for the other American "C's" (Citra, Crystal, Cascade, etc...) all of them will work well, but give this a go first.
Give this bad boy 10 days in the primary at 64-65 degrees, then rack to a secondary. Let the beer condition for 2 more weeks in the secondary, then add 1 oz. each of Centennial & Willamette whole hops for 1 additional week of conditioning with dry hops. As an alternative to 2 ounces of whole hops in the secondary, you can leach/rinse the Willamette hops with a small amount of boiled water or even better a boiled bottle or 2 of beer. I use this approach to add 1/4 ounce of Polyclar 10 with the boiled beer. |

Notes: Add 4 oz fresh ground coffee to secondary. Use 5.687 gal water for mash. Add 1.69 gal at mashout and sparge with 3.875 gal. Should give pre-boil at 7.75 gal. Minus 2.25 g lost to evaporation during 90 min boil = 5.5 gal post-boil. About 5.25 going into fermenter after hops and trub absorption. Ferment at 65 for awhile and raise to 69 when fermentation slows. Pitch two packages of US-56 for fermentation and one for bottling. Add the yeast to fermenter or secondary, not bottling bucket. Only use 1/2 cup DME for bottling. |

Notes: - Put honey into brew kettle at 130-140 degrees
- Ginger went in at 60 minutes during the boil (in mesh bag)
- Cinnamon sticks went in at 60 minutes during the boil (in mesh bag)
- 2 liquid packages of Wyeast london ale 1028 per 5 gallon carboy
- Started fermentation temperature at 64 for day 1, increased to 65 on day 2, increased to 66 on day 4 (and it stayed here but closer to 67 than 66)
- Took gravity reading on day 7 and it was already 1.016 (implied 78% attenuation). Expected final gravity at avg. attenuation (75%) was supposed to be 1.018. So we started cold crashing the beer at 39 degrees on day 7.

Notes: Ferment at 62°F for two weeks, transfer to secondary and condition cool (50-55°F) for 3-4 weeks. Bottle and age at 50°F for 3 weeks.
The caramel and dark malt notes are well balanced by Goldings hop flavor and bitterness. There is a mild syrupy, molasses aftertaste that is pleasant, especially with the roasty notes.

Notes: Mengden meske- og skyllevann du bør bruke kommer an på utstyret og metoden du brygger med. Som et anslag kan vi si at du kan bruke l meskevann og l skyllevann til dette ølet. Noen bryggemaskiner (f.eks. Speidel Braumeister) kan kreve større mengder meskevann. Sjekk alltid manualen på utstyret du bruker.
Mesking på 65 grader i 75 min. Utmesk på 77 grader i 5 min hvis du har mulighet til å øke temperatur i mesken.
Kjøl ned til 17 grader før pitching av gjær.
Gjæring på 18 grader til stormgjæring begynner å avta (typisk etter 3-5 dager). Øk deretter til 20 grader og hold resten av gjæringsperioden (totalt 14 dager). Tørrhumle etter 5 dager.
Gjæralternativer: WLP001, WLP007, WLP008, WLP041, WLP051, WLP090, Danstar Nottingham |

Notes: 24 hrs to the boil (2) Campden tablets were added to kill any wild yeast.
12 hrs later 1/2 tsp of Pectic Enzyme was added for clarity (1/2 tsp under the recommended dose)
Heat water to 160(F) steep grain for 30min and remove
Add LME and brown sugar
Boil 60 min. @ 30 min add hopps
Actual O.G. turned out to be 1.076, with the actual volume around 2 3/4 gal or just under the 10 L mark on the bucket.
The cane sugar above was supposed to be a representative of the fresh pressed cider on points per gallon (PPG). The Fresh Cider had an O.G. of 1.046.(unknown on how to determine the PPG, so I used the above sub as found on an online forum.)
