Enjoying Kölsch tonight.

Looks like you're leaving that one and a sausage roll for Santa?

Decisions... good news is they all pair well with meat and cheese!

Thanks Jon.  Using 029. 
Wyermann Pils malt and acidulated malt only. 
Mittelfrueh hops - First wort
Fwiw I preferred the batches with either Spalt or Perle. 
Going to mix it up next time on grain bill and either use some carahell or switch base malt to pale malt. Or both.
Great style to brew and just have on tap any time.

Sounds great. I made my last with a mix of pils and kolsch malt. Gonna up the % of kolsch malt next time. It's nice. Kind of similar to Vienna. Makes me want to brew one soon!

Using WY or WLP? Any preference? I've only used WLP but haven't seen a need to change.

Well I prefer 2565 for its sort of 'white wine/white grape' thing. Really good yeast, but it's very powdery and a mother to get clear. Takes a while but worth it. But having said that, it is nice to use 029 and get a clear beer quicker. 029 definitely flocs quicker. I like both.

My triple rye amber ale.

Looks and sounds tasty!

Love the color on the Dunkel, foam too. Kids did a great job.

Dunkel and  cookies -- mmmmm! If Santa hits Cinci first, he's going to be late here in Akron.

That’s pretty dark for a  Hoegaarden clone.

And quite a nice trophy as well!

Some know what I will say, Giga021
Just spun up a huge starter to keep it going and save a pitch.
Thanks for the info JT. Jon beat me to the questions. I too use Perle and Crystal. My next batch is Best and Carahell. I’ve never used it, not sure of the percentage. My favorite yellow style.  Thanks for sharing!
