Notes
Yard Destroyer in honor of my jackass dog who ate a bag of grass seed, a welcome mat, blueberry bushes, kiwi vines, and a gazebo. 1.4L starter w/ Wyeast using pale malt base 8 Feb 2013 Bottled with 5 oz priming sugar. 1.5 g into keg. Open 31 March. Measured out at 1.002 FG, for 5.9 ABV. Hmm. Don't think that can be right.Ratings

Though this compared favorably to a wide range of Kölsch styles tasted at AHA, it seems to have a slightly over-bitter aftertaste in the bottles opened soonest after lagering in the basement. More mature had a smoother finish. I would suggest, and will try, a change to the bittering hops next time. BTW, the Yard Destroyer has calmed down - he eats only squirrels now.
by lb81larry23Looking for a Kolsch recipe, and this has the best name origin I have seen. A jackass dog, AKA the "Yard Destroyer". I'm gonna use this recipe just because of the name. Let ya know how it goes. Thanks.
