Notes

Excellent cream ale. Keep the corn or rice at or under 10% too much corn gives a weird twang. With us 05 I always rehydrate. I take some of the extra wort from the mash, balance it to 1.035. boil, chill, and rehydrate the yeast, if you don't you get some weird pear like esters. I've tried 001 and 1056 both were clean but not dry enough. K97 kolsch yeast was great. Taken straight from the winners section of the aha website.
