Hello everyone.
I just made a kolsch style beer. The recipe calls for:
6.0 lbs of LME pilsner
1.5 lbs of LME wheat
.75 oz of hallertauer mittelfruh for 60 min
.50 oz of hallertauer mittelfruh for 30 min
.50 oz of hallertauer mittelfruh for 15 min
I put the extract in with 20-30 min left of the boil. So to keep the extract from darkening. My target SG should have been 1.044, but I got 1.032. I cooled it down to 75* in about 40 min, using ice, not in the wort. Any ideas what I did wrong?
Thank you in advance.
