I am a huge fan of kolsch and I make a pretty good one. I am now planning a ten gallon batch, based on a kolsch recipe, with WLP029, but I want to give it an octoberfest style color and malt bill. I am assuming I add some extra munich, and maybe some carafa for color, but what about a touch of caramel malt? Maybe some caramunich? I was thinking something like this.
18# Pilsen
2# munich
1# wheat
1# Caramunich
4 oz carafa II
4 oz pale chocolate
2 oz magnum at 90
2 oz willamete at FO
WLP029
Ferment at 65 for 6 weeks
Mash at 149
Kind of like an altbier I guess....let me know what you think
