- Tasting Notes
- Light bread and biscuit with subtle malt sweetness. Perfect smooth bitterness
I have made many kolsch style beers in my day and I NAILED IT, this time. Seriously don't change a thing with this recipe and you will have a great beer. I have soft water with around 100 PPM total hardness and I think that might help give this beer such a beautiful smoothness. It tastes German. Enjoy!! For the batch of this size I used a 1 gallon starter. YMMV
