Lemon Pepper Kolsch Extract Recipe
« on: April 01, 2014, 10:57:11 am »
I'm looking for an extract recipe for a Lemon Pepper Kolsch.  I've had a couple commercial ones lately and I'd love to try to make one.  Can't seem to find a recipe anywhere.

Try reaching out to the brewers. Many of them are very willing to share their recipes, or at least give you some helpful info to get you started.

+1. I have had much luck with this on numerous occasions. For extract I would start with the lightest, closest to pilsner extract you can find and sub in some sugar for increased fermentability and low enough FG.
On Tap/Bottled: IPL, Adjunct Vienna, Golden Stout, Honey Lager
Fermenting: IPA
Up Next: mexi lager, Germerican pale ale

Basic kolsch recipe ad then add lemon zest and crushed black pepper to primary pr secondary. You could also make a vodka tincture. The question will be the volumes of pepper/zest. Per 5 gallons I'd start with the zest of 2 or 3 lemons and 2 oz of crushed black pepper (per 5 gallons) and then adjust from there.
