Notes: The soft water of Köln lends Kölsch its distinctive soft, rounded mouthfeel. This effect may be hard to duplicate for most homebrewers using their ordinary water supply.
Brewed on7-5-2020 - Pitched at 56F, had problem with controler and used Mash Tun controler. Unfortuantley it was set to heat mode. Ended up cooling to 41F. Raised to 60F.
7/6/2020 - No activity. Added O2 and raised to 62F. Ended up adding another package of Koln yeast to fermenter. Active fermenation within a few hours.
7/12/20 - SG = 1.014 very milky cloudy with yeast still very active. No off aromas. Didn't taste. Raising temp from 58F to 60F and then on up later this week to 62F.
7/19/20 - SG = 1.009 hazy straw colored, light pils malt with some floral earthy minty hop aroma. Med light body with some sweetness still and a light hop bitterness on finish. Finishes dry. Crash cooling.
7/20/20 - Added gelatin to 36F beer.
7/22/20 - Hazey golden yellow, some sweet pilsner malt and light floral hop aroma. Nice light to medium body with some light hop bitterness and sweetness. Giving it another day and kegging.This Recipe Has Not Been Rated
