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!!

Not sure what the go is with the recipe on Here first one added as only one proud enough to add:

i find better results are had if using a german pils malt instead of the aussie, and mash cooler (63deg)

definitely one of my favourite styles

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!!
