Kolsch

[Mikedub]

You want a dry, well carbonated and mildly malty beer with a winey/fruity profile, go easy on the "herbal/spicy" hops but that's the style of hoppiness you want - Saphir/Hallertau/Hersbruck/Saaz/Spalt etc - 60m and 10-20m addition works well, no more than 1g/L of late added hops

I've got a bag of Southern Saaz flowers but I've been putting off using after reading fairly unenthusiastic reviews, think I give them a run at 60 and 20 with the Kolsch and see

I've just used them in a Blonde Ale, reckon they'd go well in a Kolsch.

Tried some four pines Kolsch in the German Club in Brisvegas, very nice session beer, now one of my favourite brews. Thanks for posting, will try your recipe Tony.

Anyone have updates on thier Kolsch adventures?
