- Tasting Notes
- Very well balanced between sweet malts and crisp hop character. Judges loved this one
10.7 lbs of grain in the mash:
9 lb Pilsen
1 lb Munich Dark
0.5 lb Crystal 60L
0.2 lb Roasted Barley
Strike your mash with 4 gallons @ 161F and rest for 75 min. Target mash temp is 150F.
Vorlauf and collect first runnings.
Sparge with 5.1 gallons @ 177F.
Collect second runnings and prepare to boil.
Boil is 90 mins.
1 oz Hallertauer (4.7%aa) @ 90 min for 15 IBUs
3 oz Saaz (3.3%aa) 30 min for 22 IBUs
Cool to ~63F and pitch a vial of WLP029 - German Ale/Kölsch yeast.
I didn't do a starter for my batch and it seemed to work fine at such a low starting gravity.
This worked out to be 4.7%ABV and makes for a very tasty session beer, and it scored me a gold metal and first in show. Cheers!
