In October, my Kolsch took 2nd place in a competition- not too bad for a first entry. I decided to rework the recipe a bit and brewed it up at the end of January. First, I'm a White Labs guy... mostly because my LHBS sells it, then I harvest it... so I use WLP029. This yeast gets a little flack for its less than great flocculation. Well, for whatever reason, my beer is brilliant after 3 weeks. Also, it spent most of the time fermenting at about 64F.
The biggest change I made was subbing Pils malt for Northwest Pale malt (85% of grist or so)... and it's amazing! I actually like it better than the original. I'm wondering if anyone has tried this?
If you're interested in the recipe (very simple), I can post it. Let me know
Cheers!
