After some networking I managed to get ahold of the recipe for the Kolsch I was trying to duplicate! Here ya go! Pilsner (2 Row) Bel (2.0 SRM)... 43.2% Pilsner (2 Row) Ger (2.0 SRM)... 32.4% Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM)... 16.2% Wheat Malt, Dark (9.0 SRM)... 8.1% 3oz Spalter Select (2.8%)...

I've been an assistant homebrewer since 2007 but I just recently (February 2014) started brewing on my own with my own equipment. I know the flavor profile I am looking for and I know the beer I can compare the flavor to was called a Kolsch. I am talking about a Kolsch-style Ale, I am not quite...

I moved it to secondary today. A little early than I usually like but I wanted to get it off the trub since I didn't get a good cold break. I think the clarity will be ok. My original gravity was 1.044 and my gravity today was 1.006. Lower than the fg I was shooting for! I tasted the gravity...

I brewed this yesterday. It was a long day, about 6 hours from clean to clean, but pretty smooth and uneventful. I was slightly short of my OG reading but I started with a higher volume so that was expected. I didn't achieve the cold break I usually see. I got the temp down to 75-80 in about 15...

I had the wrong equipment profile entered into my recipe on BeerSmith. So here is what I am going to do (updated): 6.75lb Pilsner (2 Row) German .25 lb Carafoam .25 lb Munich 10L .25 lb Victory .25 lb Vienna German Ale/Kolsch- White Labs WLP029 1.5 oz Hallertauer (5.5%) Last...

Yeah, the Victory is a wild card. I read that it is used more in Brown Ales, but in a small quantity it may get me where I want to be. I've never used it before but it seems to make more sense than the Munich. Something fun to play with!

My local brew supply doesn't carry Wyeast products. :( That is what I am used to brewing with. Since we moved here last October I've had to change to White Labs.

After a little research I think I will replace the .25lb Munich with .25lb Victory.

My original recipe used Pilsner German 2 Row. I'm not really sure why I changed it to 2 Row Pale Malt. So, here is my new recipe: 7.75lbs Pilsner (2 Row) German .5lbs Carafoam .5lbs Vienna Malt .25lbs Munich Malt German Ale/Kolsch (White Labs #WLP029) 1.5oz Hallertauer (4.8%) Hoping...

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I am looking for a malty, grain, bread flavor without the malty sweetness finish. That is what I thought the flaked corn would do, cut that sweetness. Originally I had planned to use grits until I read how much of a PITA it was to brew with. So I settled on the...

Hello fellow brewers, One of the best Kolsch brews I've ever had was from a brew pub in CT. It had a very slight bread flavor on the finish. I've been trying to duplicate this in my homebrew but I have no idea how to get there. I used flaked corn in my first attempt to cut the malt and hop...

Thanks, Scuttlebutt sells an all grain kit for their porter. We may just buy it if I can't get a clone recipe. Price isn't too bad at $55. Maybe $15 more than buying ingredients a the local brew shop.

I've seen a couple people comment that they have brewed Scuttlebutt Porter Clones. I'd love the recipe, it's my wife's favorite dark beer and I'd like to brew it for her. Thanks!

I've been looking for the recipe for Scuttlebutt Porter clone. Can you post the recipe you used or a link to it? Thanks!
