Looking to give my next batch of Edwort's Kolsch the Saaz treatment. Just wondering if anyone has done this. I was thinking of sticking with Perle for bittering and replacing the Tetnanger with Saaz keeping the aau's the same. Thoughts?
Popped open my very first bottle of my own AG version of Edwort's Kolsch and was Blown Away. This was the batch I thought would be awful because I boiled off a gallon more than I should have, but wow! My confidence in my ability to brew great beer is sky high. Next time, Saaz in the kettle I...
It smells like a fairy has sprinkled pure wonder and amazement into my airlock. This is my first AG batch and NOTHING I have done can compare. Pumped to get this one into the bottles.
Done! Target OG was 1.049 and I hit 1.051 (my boil off was slightly higher than the test run) but I am Pumped that I hit it that close. Plus a bit of extra abv wont hurt :rockin:
I'm in the process of brewing Edwort's Kolsch as my first AG brew. Hit the strike water dead on (thanks Beersmith!)and has held 151 for 35 minutes now. Will keep updating as the process unfolds. Fantastic experience.
Different sources say to put x amount of water gently, stir, wait 10 min drain and repeat with all of your sparge volume to extract the most sugar. Will this be effective? Any other suggestions?

I brewed this batch after a subpar experience with their Cream Ale and WOW. I'm moving to AG this weekend but for the time and effort this will definitely keep the bottles (and fingers crossed if SWMBO agrees, kegs) full for the summer.
yeah, I am actually planning on conditioning the pot tonight while the wife is out. Next weekend can't come fast enough. Built my Wort Chiller yesterday and my burner is actually my Dad's old clam cooker with some new additions.
