Notes

They were sold out so I got my grains and yeast from them, and hops from Yakima Valley Hops.

Shopping List

Grain & Sugars

• 2 lbs German Vienna
• 1 lb Weyermann Munich 2

Hops: (Pellet Hops)
• 0.5 oz Southern Cross at 60 mins
• 0.5 oz Southern Cross at Whirlpool

Estimated ABV: 5.5% • Estimated OG: 1.053 • Estimated FG: 1.011

Directions:
Add 4 gallons of water and mash at 152°F for 60 minutes. While mashing, add 4.5 gallons of water to your hot liquor tank and bring to 185 degrees Fahrenheit. Wash grain using either a batch or fly sparge, however your system is set up. You should end with around 7.25 gallons of wort in your kettle.

Boil for 90 minutes, following listed hop additions, and if using an immersion chiller, don't forget to put it in your boil with 15 minutes left for sterilization, right after you add your chosen clarifier.

You should transfer 5.5 gallons of cooled wort into your fermenter to account for fermentation losses, so don't forget to calculate your system losses and boil o volume into the given volumes.

Ferment for 14 days, adding your dry hops in on day 9 of fermentation. Crash chill for 24 hours on day 14, then add 4 oz of Dextrose and bottle, or rack to your keg, force carbonate and enjoy!

Style:
5B – Kölsch
German style Kölsch with American style hopping, this summer favorite brings sunshine to every pint and person. Subtle notes of pear and lemon blend perfectly with a complex Kölsch yeast character, light grain sweetness, finishing with a crisp and lager-like character. This beer was made for summer!
