It's past time for me to have brewed a good lawnmower beer. The summer heat is arriving.
Initially i was thinking a cream ale, and my grain bill reflects that, but i got talked into making a kölsch, and then bought the appropriate yeast.
I'm using some of the leftover hops in my freezer, which should explain why i have selected all aroma type hops for a kölsch. The 10L caramel is also taking up space in my freezer. I have some cara-pils in there too but I'm told that head retention is not a kölsch characteristic.
Thoughts? Brewday is potentially tomorrow.
