Notes: When I cannot get the Kolsch yeast, I often utilize a primary fermentation using the US-05 Ale yeast and then a two-week lagering period. While this fermentation schedule is not typical of Kölsch-style brewers, it is also not unheard of, as many of them utilize this schedule. Please note the use of US-05 is not a traditional yeast strain, but is a decent substitute. If you want a more authentic yeast, go for Wyeast 2565 or White Labs’ WLP 029.
I typically go ahead and keg the beer after primary, and then store in my serving fridge for a few weeks until it is ready to be served. |

Notes: Mill the grains. Mash in at 110°F (43°C), rest 10 minutes; raise to 122°F (50°C), rest 15 minutes; raise to 140°F (60°C), rest 15 minutes; raise to 150°F (66°C), rest 20 minutes; then raise to 168°F (76°C) and mash out. (Alternatively, you can do a single-infusion mash at 150°F/66°C for 45 minutes.)
Recirculate until the runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle. Sparge and top up as necessary to get about 6.5 gallons (25 liters) of wort, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil for 90 minutes, adding hops according to the schedule. After the boil, do a whirlpool step: Stir for 5 minutes to create a vortex, then add hops and steep 15 minutes. Chill to 55°F (13°C), aerate well, and pitch plenty of healthy yeast. Ferment at 57°F (14°C) for 1 day, then drop to 55°F (13°C). When fermentation is complete and the gravity has been stable for at least 3 days, crash to 32°F (0°C) and lager for 4 weeks, then rack, package, and carbonate.
BREWER’S NOTES
Mash pH: We adjust using a homegrown lactic culture, but you can use food-grade lactic acid and/or brewing salts to keep runoff below 5.6, targeting 5.1–5.2 in the kettle.
Water profile: Our chloride-to-sulfate ratio for this beer is 3:1.
HBC 1134: This is an experimental hop, not yet available on the market. However, its typical alpha acids and floral-spicy-lemon character are not unlike Aramis—or substitute another new hop you want to try.
First brewed 1/26/24. Used 9 lb of German Pilsner malt. Also added more Lorien hops as AA was much lower than expected. Used ph meter for the first time and this showed ph was much higher than planned - 6.1 to start. So added a total of 7 ml of 10% phosphoric acid to the mash. This lowered ph to 5.68 at the start of boil. No other salt or water additions were made.
Followed the step mash, which took a lot longer than single infusion. Would not recommend again. Mashed out at 168 and added 1 gallon of 168 sparge. Pre boil gravity was 1043, which was higher than target.
Added Lorien hops at 90 mins vs first wort by mistake.
Added rest of hops to schedule. Whirlpool was at 173 for 30 mins and I did not use a whirly just did some recirculation with pump.
Cooked to 55 then moved to fermenter and added yeast.
After 1 week gravity was 1017.
Put into keg after 17 days in fermentation. FG was 1011, so higher attenuation than expected.
Largered in fridge for 4 weeks. Then put in CO2. After a week the lager was very drinkable - smooth, light, but not very distinctive. After a 2nd week with CO2 the beer is clear, straw to golden yellow, and pours with a heavy head. The nose is mostly malty and the hops are disappointing- not as much bitterness as I’d like and no distinctive flavor. Beer is very drinkable and thirst quenching, but nothing special. I’d score it a 2.8/5. |

2 dry yeast packs in a 2 liter, 9P starter gives us the right pitch rate.
Original recipe called for 35 IBU. I like my pilsners a little more bitter, so I upped it towards 45 and will adjust as necessary.
Kettle size: 20
Trub: 1.375gal = 5.5qt = 4.5qt kettle loss + 1qt line loss
Boil off rate: 1.0
Grain absorption: 0.07
=> Strike water 10.81gal (10gal, 3.24qt; 40.92L), 153f
3.24qt = 3.07L
> Ferment at 50F until about 3.6P, then raise to 70-72F until about 2.3P.
> Fine with gelatin for crystal clarity.
> Cold condition for 4-8 weeks. Towards the longer side is better, but impatience is a thing. |

Notes: Mill the grains and mix with 3.3 gallons (12.4 liters) of 163°F (72°C) strike water to reach a mash temperature of 152°F (67°C). Hold there for 60 minutes. Vorlauf until the runnings are clear. Sparge the grains with 4 gallons (15 liters) and top up as necessary to obtain 6 gallons (23 liters) of wort. Boil for 60 minutes, following the hops schedule. After the boil, chill the wort to slightly below fermentation temperature, about 50°F (10°C). Aerate the wort with pure oxygen or filtered air and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 50°F (10°C) for 10 days, then let the temperature rise to 54°F (12°C) for about 4 days. After that, let the temperature free rise to room temperature and hold for 2 days. Cold crash to 35°F (2°C) for 48 hours, then lager for at least 6 weeks. Bottle or keg, and carbonate to about 2.25 volumes. |
