I'm looking forward to brewing this recipe soon. I have the starter on the stir plate as we speak.

I went to pull my first glass of this yesterday when I realized I've had it at 30psi for a week!
Just a *tad* foamy. Otherwise the aroma is good, the head is snow-white, and the beer is very cloudy. The flavor? Well not bad but I'll give it a few days to get to the proper carb level.

Swapped the 2 row and Munich malt for Vienna. I overshot my gravity at 1.056 and finished at 1.008. Very nice aroma and hop taste. I used a little more bittering to finish up my remaining hops so mine came in at 26-28ibus.

I ended up splitting the batch 4.5 gallons with US-05 and 1 gallon with Scottish ale yeast (this one hasn't been tested yet because the thief won't fit into the 1 gallon jug).

Here's another pic of this awesome beer.

I brewed this today. OG was a bit shy at 1.047. I'm only pitching 1L of yeast. Looking forward to tasting!

The gallon that got the Scottish yeast seems like a waste. Very minimal hop aroma and flavor at bottling, it's there but it is tiny comparwd to the US05 batch. This one finished at 1.010 and although flat has a much thicker mouthfeel and is sweeter not more malty. Will hope to do a carbed side by side.

Kolsch yeast has it's own flavor profile that will shine through when the beer is lightly hopped like this one is. Kölsch imparts some noticeable ale-type fruitiness on the palate.
