But not to a communion party in Belgium because you would be excommunicated.
What's a good communion party without an excommunication?
Isn't that how you know you did it right!

But, why do I get the feeling you'll go for a 7-day "koelsch"? ;)

Because I have started a beer judge course and I need to get to know the style?

Ah, I see. Well, If I was as proximal to the land of Koelsch as you are, I know how I would be familiarizing. It is a lovely style to brew.

- Klein Kabouterke (Little Gnome). A low alcohol version of Chouffe (Pilsner, Amber Candi Sugar, Styrian, Saaz, Coriander, Belgian Ardennes). No idea whether that will be good.

That sounds awesome.  I've brewed something similar, though without the coriander.

I like the Kolsch idea. Kolsch is like Pilsner Lite. A little vinous character from the yeast. It is probably in my top 3 styles I brew. It is the most requested by friends for sure. I use Weyermann Floor Pils and a touch of Avengard wheat. Bitter with Magnum and finish with Crystal. Mine is around 20ibu. I like WY2565 or GY021 for the yeast. You could do a quick turn around. Since the yeast doesn't want to flocculate out I would fine it. Kolsch with Mandarina would really be fantastic I think.

Original recipe is from Gordon Strong. I simply reduced gravity.

It wouldn't be a road trip. It would be an obligatory, almost business trip for my beer judge studies. For the advancement of science, as it were.

If you wanted to go with the consuming stale bread theme, then you could brew a kvass. And pair it with a table strength saison brewed with the cheapest wine you can get your hands on. That would fit the communion theme as I remember it.

Then again, maybe your clergy is classier out your way....

\m/   Never had kvass, but this is a decent album from a good band! Maybe not so Catholic though...

I had a Kölsch once. It was so meh I wished I'd gone for the spezi.

That being said, I've no idea what you should be brewing. 6 days is not something my rig supports, unless you count sahti. Which I'm sure you don't.
