Notes: First batch was 5.25 gal of 1.112 (18 lbs of my honey added)
- Added Nardone yeast (2 packs, 3 in future) not cooled it down to room temperature after following yeast package. Overly sluggish start, took almost 5 days. Fermentation was sluggish. Fermentation had no airlock activity after 3 weeks. Lots of shaking to degass --> next time I will use the degassing tool that I have. Very sweet when sampled during first rack, but quite delightful.
Second batch was 4.5 gal of 1.096 (11 lbs added)
- Added half of the yeast (2 packs total) directly to the fermentor and half according to package instructions. Proper start, fermentation activity slowed after 2 weeks. Lots of shaking to degas --> next time I will use the degassing tool that I have. The first rack to secondaries tasted the best it ever had.
Secondaries
5.25 gal Sacred blue (8 lbs blueberries, 1 lb of mulberries) + 1.5 vanilla beans in tertiary (1 week) then add one cinnamon stick for another week (test it often)
2.5 gal of strawberry mead (3 lbs of strawberries and a handful of mulberries for colour) + tequila chips (1 week or so, test it often)
1 gal of lavender mead (2.2g of 3 week air-dried homegrown lavender, 6 days )
1 gal of chamomile mead (1 oz of chamomile from one SFB package, 6 days)
Any "left over" mead will become straight mead in a bottle.
- ZERO mead leftover. Perfect volumes.

other advice:
- I was using Lalvin EC - 1118 yeast is I was shooting for about 18% alcohol, but for most dark berry recipes I'd recommend Lalvin 71B-1122 vice D47. D47 is perfect for traditional Meads, 71B-1122 is made to bring out dark berry flavors. Just my opinion.

Notes: I have been brewing for about ten years, this is my first Kolsch.
I tried to find a recipe that is based on the original style. I used BYO to find the ingredients and did a search on Brewers Friend to find a recipe that was close. The next step is to cut it down to three gallons. Made sure to keep the starting gravity and IBU's to style. Additional modifications may be required due to availability of ingredients from the brew shop
BYO ingredients
OG = 1.048 (11.9 °P)
FG = 1.009 (2.3 °P)
IBU = 25 SRM = 4 ABV = 5.1%
Ingredients
2.6 lb. (3 kg) Briess Pilsner liquid malt extract (2 °L)
4 oz. (113 g) Munich or wheat liquid malt extract (optional)
5 AAU Hallertau pellet hops (1.25 oz./35 g at 4% alpha acids) (60 min.)
White Labs WLP029 (German Ale/Kölsch) or Wyeast 2565 (Kölsch) yeast
