Ill be brewing a Kolsch next weekend as well. Splitting the 10 gallons between the Wyeast and White Labs strains. Was planning on a 127-149 step mash and using Weyermann Floor Malted BoPils Malt with some Vienna Malt. Whats your recipe look like Dave? I Like doing comparisons, maybe we can ship each other some bottles.
I was going to go with the Floor Malted BoPils Malt as well but the color came out WAY high in BeerTools. 13.81 SRM when style says 5. So I decided to just go with 2-Row.
Here's my recipe:
8# 2-Row
1# White Wheat
1oz Hallertauer Mittelfruher Leaf at 60 and 30
Wyeast 2565
Single infusion at 149-150F for 90 minutes
Probably going to ferment at 62F
Would be happy to ship a bottle or two!
Dave
