Good beer 
by tngolfer
This is a good recipe. It was my first kolsch. I added 4 oz. corn sugar to up the alcohol a little which pushed it technically out of BJCP style but it was still good. I would brew this again. Congrats on the awards.
Quintessential Summer Beer

This is a mowing lawn, hanging out session-ish thirst quenching fantastic beer of a beer.
Beware: If you make it you'll never be happy with a Kolsch besides this one again.
Question on Malt
by Cents
Hi, your recipe has Brewers Malt 6-Row (Briess) (1.8 SRM), but to my knowledge Briess only makes 2 rows. could you link here what malt you are using? and woudl you be able to suggest a substitute (I am based in Spain and Briess is not the most available of providers)
