I believe it was an episode of brew strong where they compared a pale ale brewed with various yeasts and Kolsch was actually the favorite. I will be trying something like this.

I imagine much of the color is in the husk. Maybe find a way to dehusk the grains after roasting? Then you could hopefully have roasty flavored grain innards to add flavor and sugar to your brew.

After a little more reading, it looks like flaked rye adds body similar to flaked barley, wheat, etc. I will probably cut it down to 10% flaked rye 40% malted rye. Some extra body will be nice for a low gravity beer, but I don't want to go overkill.

I've read that Roggenbiers can have fruity flavors from the yeast, but has anyone done one with added fruit? I am thinking adding 2 oz orange zest for the last 5-10 minutes of boil along with an ounce of citra or centennial (a citrusy hop to complement the orange zest). I am considering dry...

I have hopslam in my fridge. It is the hoppiest beer I have had, but I have not yet had pliny the elder or younger.

When I brewed with friends, we used a little nylon hop sack to hold the pellets, no weights to make it sink. We also used a bucket, so it was easy. We only did this because the kit instructions said to. Now that I brew solo, I primary in a glass carboy with no secondary. Once bubbling is...

Sounds like brew in a bag with a sparge rinse! If you are to add malt extract as well, it would be a partial mash. For mashing, Palmer recommends somewhere between 1-2 quarts per pound of grain, for 4 pounds this is 1-2 gallons. Since the sparge is typically more than the mash volume, they are...

In the same isle as the washers in home depot, I found a little 4 pack of 5/8" stainless lock nut pack that includes 4 stainless washers. The kit was $2 but it saved me lots of hassle. This was at the small crappy home depot near me that didn't have half the fittings I needed, I didn't check at...
