This recipe was not specifically designed to be consistent with the BJCP style guides, but we believe it is similar to 05B - Kölsch.

Kölsch (or Kolsh or Kolsch for people afraid of dots above the o) is a traditional German blonde Ale from Cologne. It's so easy to drink that waiters in Cologne put a line on the edge of your coaster to keep up the count when serving you fresh one, and it's not unheard of to make those lines go full circle. To be fair, Kölsch is traditionally served in 0.2l glasses to drink it always fresh.

The malt bill is as simple as they come: Weyermann Cologne malt (and some acid malt for pH).

This kit comes with 2 packs of the new Kolsh dry yeast by Lallemand.

Our kits are fresh! We assemble the ingredients after you place your order. The grain bill will be milled, unless you tell us in your order comments that you prefer it not to be.

This recipe has been designed to use acid malt to reach the target mash pH. If you wish to use the recommended mineral additions to achieve the intended flavour profile, these are to be added to the boil only. This kit does not include the minerals, but these can be purchased separately.
