I'd like to try this.. but only have Munich 1 which is 10L. Any problems subbing that?
I haven't made it recently but I did make it right after I posted the first time in this thread which was like 4 years ago or so. This was my 2nd or 3rd all grain batch if I remember. It came out very good. Don't think it was a spot on clone but was very good and very close. Plus I was a brand new all grain brewer. It was close enough though. I'd recommend it.
I'm planning to try this one as my first AG.
Can you give any more details about making the starter? I've never made one before and it remains a bit of a mystery to me still.
Thanks
It may be outside the optimal temp range but according to Wyeast, 2565 Kölsch has a Temperature Range of 56-70° F (13-21° C)You say ferment at 70 degrees?! That is outside the 58-64 optimal fermentation range
for the yeast. That is also the highest fermentation temperature for all of my ale recipes.

Yes, it's at the high end but the OP and his friends seem to like it and that's OK for me to give this recipe a try before making any modifications for personal preferences.
The white labs kolsch recommends 65+. Given that this is meant to be a clean beer (lager) I would go with the kolsch at the lower temps. Well try this out next month.
down to 1.015 kegging tonight I hope!
