Made it twice. First batch the only grain I had was Marris Otter and it came out a little too much. Next 11 gal batch I used Klages and added 1/2 lb light crystal. Both batches came out just over 5%, I was shooting for 4, so less grain next batch.
Second batch looked perfect. Nice head, clear as can be with good flavor. She loved it. Just kicked the second keg a few days ago. I am out of beer. I brew 30 gallons twice a year. Its time.
I want to make it lighter. I have been using Chico yeast. Saw one person used Kolsch. Going to try that. I make 2 7 gal fermenters at a time, so one of each.
Open to suggestions to make it lighter. She is a Mic Ultra drinker. She likes this, and one fermenter I put in a bottle of blueberry flavor. She liked that too.
It wont be long before I fire up the Brewery. Same equipment since early 1990.
