Notes: I’m using this as my first attempt to make a lager. The basic recipe is from Mean Brews on YouTube but I’ve made a number of substitutions based on what I had readily available so it is by no means a copy. If this show’s promise I will try again next year and be more discriminating in sourcing the materials.
I really didn’t like this beer. My neighbors, however, really seemed to like it. I have been making sure they take it home with them a gallon at a time. I think that as I have gotten older my palate has shifted so that I just don’t like lagers either homemade or store bought. Since fermenting and lagering this class of beers is a pain for me this will end my experiments with them. |

Kölsch I
(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.048 (11.9 °P) FG = 1.009 (2.3 °P)
IBU= 25 SRM = 4 ABV = 5.1%
Ingredients
9.25 lb. (4.2 kg) Durst continental Pilsner malt (2 °L) or similar
0.5 lb. (227 g) Weyermann Vienna malt (4 °L)
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
3/4 cup corn sugar (if priming)
Step by Step
Mill the grains and dough-in targeting a mash of around 1.5 quarts of water to 1 pound of grain (a liquor-to-grist ratio of about 3:1 by weight) and a temperature of 149 °F (65 °C). Hold at 149 °F (65 °C) until enzymatic conversion is complete. Raise the temperature to mash out at 168 °F (76 °C). Sparge slowly with 170 °F (77 °C) water, collecting wort until the pre-boil kettle volume is around 6.5 gallons (24.6 L) and the gravity is 1.037 (9.3 °P).
The total wort boil time is 90 minutes, which helps reduce DMS levels in the beer. Add the bittering hops with 60 minutes remaining in the boil. Add Irish moss or other kettle finings with 15 minutes left in the boil. Chill the wort rapidly to 60 °F (16 °C), let the break material settle, rack to the fermenter and aerate thoroughly.
Use 2.5 liquid yeast packages or make a starter with fewer packages. Ferment at 60 °F (16 °C). Lager for at least four weeks before bottling or serving. When finished, carbonate the beer to approximately 2.5 volumes and serve at 50 °F (10 °C). |
