I don't know too much about beer styles, but have read a bit about Kolsch and thought it might be a good summer, easy drinking style for Christmas/New Year.
So I have found (and modified slightly) an extract recipe to suit and would appreciate any input you may have.
2750g. Light Dry Malt Extract
120g. Torrified Wheat
15g. Northern-Brewers. 6.9% 75 min
22g. Spalt 4.0% 15 min
35g. Hallertau 3.1% 15 min
15g. Czek Saaz 3.5% dry hopped
15g. Hallertau 3.1% dry hopped
1 teaspoon of Irish Moss
Kolsch Wyeast WLP029
The wheat will be steeped for 15 mins and then added to the boil.
I know that it is not a very efficient use of hops, but the cupboard is bare so this will give me the oppotunity to stock up on a few different types.
Cheers
