Thanks all for your replies! If I used a refractometer (not a hydrometer) and got an OG reading of 1.048 and a FG reading of 1.025, how can I calculate my "actual" FG and ABV? I used this link: https://www.brewersfriend.com/brix-converter/ to convert my FG reading on a refractometer into Brix...

I based my recipe mainly off of a Brewer's Best kit recipe and a few others online which used LME and grains. https://brewersbestkits.com/assets/1015_kolsch_recipe.pdf Apologies, meant LME*. Thanks, I'll read up on it! I have an extra 3.3 lb container of Pils Light LME so I will most likely do...

Thank you for the advice! I did use 3.3 lbs of DME hence why I assumed I would steep vs. mash. I was not trying to do all grain brewing yet, but maybe next time :) Instructions from the yeast I used said to re-hydrate in water...

Thank you for sharing, I used a refractometer and my OG reading was 1.048 and FG reading 1.025 both with the hydrometer. I'm confused as how to use the calculator you provided since I don't have the FG (Brix WRI). What would my FG - Corrected / ABV value be? Looking at the link below of a...

Finished the fermentation after 5 days and bottled tonight! The FG was 1.025, which was higher than my goal of 1.010-1.015. My ABV should be around 3%. Guess I'll have to call it a "session" kolsch. I noticed this at the bottom of my fermentation vessel. It doesn't look like an infection, but...

I am not sure the brand, I threw out the package and did not take a photo of it.

Thanks all for the comments! I brewed the beer yesterday and saw bubbles in the airlock this morning. I will post how it turns out.

I did say I enjoyed Belgian-style beers and was new to brewing. Maybe they picked this one out since it seems like its an easier yeast to use? It also says can make lager-style beers in an ale-length fermentation period. Maybe they used this since everything else was a Pilsner (malt and LME). It...

Kveik is what they recommended to me. I was most interested in the Belgian Pilsner Malt then they built it out from there.

I went to my local homebrew store and bought ingredients for a 5 gallon home brew Kolsch. The store was out of the Brewers Best Boxes, which is what I am used to, so the owner picked out ingredients for me and told me to look up a Kolsch recipe. I've done some research and believe I have a good...
