Brewer's Notes

BIAB recipe. Great beer easy to brew and tastes like a good clean lager. Basically used Kolsch yeast 2 #2575 which was not on the recipe list. Mashed 65.5 for 75 mins mash out 75.6 15 mins. Fermented at 18 deg for 3 weeks crashed chilled for 5 days and racked to secondary with gelatine as this yeast strain doesn't flocculate real well but has great lager qualities. Force carbonated and drank, sooo good!!

looking to try brewing my first kolsch, this recipe might be the one.
 
Its a simple recipe tastes great. The German pils would be better, that's all I had and the color was a bit light, just inside the style range.. I couldn't find much info on the style or recipes, so came up with this one based on what I could find, the hops are great!!
