Just took a sip of the Kolsch...WOW, very good! This has been kegged for 9 days, and it tastes mighty fine, very similar to Victory's Prima Pils. I might like this one better than your pale ale...

Heh, I did that too...totally forgot to use the irish moss in the boil. I ended up adding some gelatin finings to clear it up about a week ago. It's almost totally clear now, but I'm still going to wait for a couple more weeks before I attack that keg in earnest.
On a kind of related note, I've found that Nottingham yeast produces a beer that tastes almost exactly like Lost Coast's Great White beer. It clears quickly, and is a great "grain to glass" in about 2 weeks. Definitely not a "kolsch" without the proper yeast, but a very tasty beer...maybe qualifies as a blonde ale?
quick question. Just had my wife pick up the stuff for this recipe and I want to brew it tonight. I just got the yeast so I have not made a starter. Can I just pitch the vial with no problems.
by the way this will be my first all-grain.

nice, is this about just as hoppy? ive been wanting to try to make a prima clone but cant really lager
im brewing 10gallons this weekend...now to look for a recipe to pitch on the wlp029 cake when its done
This was my understanding also, but both the original recipe and the recipe on BMW explicitly state a 60 minute boil. Is there a reason for that?Definitley want to boil a pils malt hard for 90 minutes.

She's big, but that Kolsch yeast taste is pretty unmistakable...especially if you ferment in the high sixties
It was a huge hit at the party! One guest thought I had brought in a keg of commercial beer so people who didn't like homebrew would have something to drink. I'll take that as a compliment!Here's my shot at it. Head retention is amazing. Flavor is delicious. I predict this keg will disappear at my Oktoberfest party this weekend.
