Product Details

This pale, light-bodied golden ale is copyrighted by, brewed in, and named for the German city of Köln. Kolschbier is traditionally given a long, cold aging period like a lager, which makes for a very smooth and clean beer. A small dose of German Hallertau hops cuts the richness of the malt. "Spritzy" is a word often used to describe Kolsch - very refreshing, and a popular lawnmower beer for beer snobs!

If you enjoyed Cologne Kolsch, you'll love this kit!

Easy Kolsch

Recently racked to secondary. Just under 5% ABV. Looks, tastes and smells like Kolsch. I’ll bottle in about 2 months. Should be great 2 months after that.

Sooth, clean, low hops

One of my favorites. Easy to brew! Great to drink anytime.

Kolsch

Excellent. Interestingly, only 1lb is 60min boil and the remaining extract (6lbs) is only the last 15 minutes of boil. This left a nice malt flavor even without a crushed grain portion. 1.050 to 1.012 in only 5 days using Kolsch-style dry yeast option.

Decent, Quaffable Kolsch

Starting Gravity: 1.050, attenuated to 1.010 in 2 weeks in primary. Used 2/3 cup corn sugar in 16 oz water for priming, but bottled beer has lower than expected carbonation. Still, it's far from flat, just doesn't have that much head in the glass. Taste is good, if just slightly too bitter and a little harsh on the finish. If I make this one again I'll dial the 60 minute hop boil down to 45 or even 30.
