My wife has a class reunion coming up in August - I'm bringing a keg. I've decided to brew a Kolsch - who doesn't like Kolsch on a hot summer day?
This will be my first Kolsch, grain bill of mostly pilsner, maybe some wheat, and a little Munich for color and maltiness (no Vienna on hand or I'd use that). I struggle with hopping delicate beers so I need help. I've got the following on hand: Sterling, Mt. Hood, Loral, Styrian Golding (1.8%AA), and Strisselspalt. I've got other hops, but want to keep this delicate (i.e. no Amarillo).
Might as well throw out suggestions for the grain bill too. I'll ferment with either Omega Kolsch II or wild lager yeast from Bootleg Biology.
Let's shoot for a 5 gallon batch.
Thanks all!
