I brewed this on March 6th. Notable differences:
- Mashed 60 mins at 154 degrees.
- 5 gallon OG into the primary was 1.057.
- WLP 029 Kolsch yeast used
- 1200ml mix of 40% DME and 60% RWS stir plate starter for 22 hours; pitched @ krausen
- Conducted as no-chill with hops added at 40 mins and 10 mins.
- Whirlfloc at 15 mins.

Sure smells good! I'll let you know how it went in a month. - N_G

Bottled last night; it primaried and secondaried for a month total. Was very very good. While I had bottling sugar in there, it tasted a bit sweet perhaps due to mashing at 154. No matter, the malt and hops combo are outstanding. I expect this to be very tasty in a month. WLP 029 is a very nice yeast; it doesn't overpower the noble hops and is just very clean tasting.
