Kolsch Batch 3

Description - Historically brewed to compete with the rising popularity of Pilsner in the 1800s, Kölsch style beer is defined by the Kölsch Konvention of 1986 as a "light, highly attenuated, hop-accentuated, clear, top-fermenting Vollbier (full beer)" and was served in a 200ml glass called a Stange. Today we brew PK true to form utilizing all German malts, yeast and serve it in a traditional .2L Stange. Tasting Notes: Soft, lightly sweet almost honey like malt character. Medium-low to medium Noble (floral, spicy, herbal) hop aroma with light sulfur and fruit (apple, cherry, pear) notes. Fuller yet light body with crisp dryish finish.

Notes: Kolsch - Dieter recipe with tweaks from Exhibit "A"s Goody Two Shoes per CB&B Article from 4/15/19, and Pfriem's Kolsch. Floor-malted barley added per Ex.A andTet hops added per pFriem. Crocess taken from Ex. A, 40 day crash min, 2 degrees per day from 68f to 48f then 4f8 to 38f and 38f to 32f once packaging is determined. London Lager Malt, Cologne malt & hop blend used due to low quantity of supplies.
