HHB Collab: Big Brew Day '22 Honey Kolsch

Create a 2-qt. (2-L) yeast starter in advance of brew day. This is a single infusion mash. Heat 3.16 gallons (12 L) strike water to 162 °F (72 °C) to stabilize the grain bed at 149 °F (65 °C) and hold for 90 minutes. Double-batch sparge with 6.62 gallons (25 L) of water to raise mash bed to 168 °F (76 °C). Toss in the first wort hop during the sparge.

Bring the wort to a boil and boil for 90 minutes, adding the hops as indicated in the ingredients list. After the 90 minute boil is complete, turn off heat and add honey at flame out. used blend of early and late season honey from 2021.
Quickly cool the wort to 60 °F (15.5 °C), oxygenate well, and pitch the yeast. Ferment for 10 days at 60 °F (15.5 °C). Once the primary fermentation is complete, transfer the beer to a secondary vessel. Drop the temperature to 50 °F (10 °C) and allow the beer to condition for one month. Bottle or keg as normal.

Turned out great. The photo was taken with about 2 weeks of bottle conditioning at 40F. At 8 weeks, it had cleaned up beautifully to be very clear. I can only imagine, the longer at those temps, the clearer it will become.
