i just brewed a kolsch, and am currently drinking the first one right now. my question is what commercial style beer is the closest to a kolsch? i know i have drank something similar to this before but can not put my finger on it.

no problem mike, just let me know if you want any info on it. the meetings are the second Saturday of the month, and they have random competitions all the time

welcome mike, if you are really enjoying the brewing you really should think about joining cask here in jacksonville. i have been brewing for about 2 months and just joined. went to my first meeting this past saturday and everyone was very helpful with all of my questions.

welcome from jacksonville

i know yall always talk about the foam from starsan but i have been using it since i started and have never seen any foam from it?

yea its fine my buckets look the same way after bottiling but like he said i just let them sit over night in some water and oxyclean

i just wanted to thank all of yall that helped me out a few months back when i was first starting off brewing. i have now brewed 3 batches (belgian tripel, kolsch, and an american cream ale) and have also joined a local brew club called C.A.S.K. and i will be going to my first meeting this...

im not sure NBigger, but you will not be disapointed with this beer. it has been close to a month since i bottled mine and i drank one last night and it is freaking great. i thought I had messed all kinds of stuff up with it but it turned out great. some on here said to leave it in the bottles...

I have a 3 car garage that is my "man cave" its 40x24. before I started brewing I just had two black leather couches, a big screen, a fridge, and a workout area in there. but since I started brewing I have turned one whole side of it into my brewing area. IMHO, I think all men should have a...

oh yea man I understand, i actually already have a kolsch that has been in the primary for 2 weeks and I am brewing an irish red on sunday.

im new also but ill share what others have told me on here 1- once you take your OG and you put the lid on it I wouldnt take another reading until you think it is done or almost done. when you take that next reading just be careful to not let anything fall into your primary check the gravity...

just to let yall know, last night the guy that has been helping me brew came over so we took two of the beers I bottled on sunday and put them in the fridge and drank them. I knew they were not going to be carbonated yet and that they are VERY VERY VERY young but since this is my first batch i...

lol thats a funny diagram. its going to be very hard for me to wait that long but i guess i will have to do it. i have a kolsh in the primary right now and will be brewing a irish red this weekend so hopefully that will help me hold off.

so it takes about a month for them to carb and then age for another few weeks?

SAWEET- so how long should I keep them out of the fridge?

I have my belgian tripel in the bottles, I bottled it this past sunday. now my question is I know I should leave in the bottles until they get fully carbonated, but once they become fully carbonated can I put them all in the fridge to age them ?

lol yea i will never be making any hooch, i was just wondering. I do plan on in the future making some good wine for the wife and im sure yall will be a tone of help when that comes around. i am only on my second batch of HB as we speak so im going to get used to brewing beer and then step into...

I dont make wine, I make beer but a friend of mine made some "hooch" and I was wondering what the estimated alcohol content is of this stuff he made. he gave me a list of ingredients and they were 4 gallons of white grape juice, 1 gallon of water and 20 lbs of sugar. he said it taste like crap...

this kit does come with a dry yeast, now i dont know if its a belgian style yeast or not to tell you the truth. but like the other guys were saying belgian tripelsare fine right by themselves with nothing added. this is the first belgian tripel I have brewed so im just going bye the other...

I just done this same kit, i bottled it sunday. what i did was left it in the primary for 3 weeks then moved it to the secondary for two weeks and plan on leaving it in the bottles for a few more weeks as well. this is a pretty heavy beer and when I was bottiling it I tasted it and it tasted...
