This is a great beer for the summer. Crisp and clean, a little grainy, with pleasant hop aroma. It's a thirst quenching brew and may have a white wine character depending how you treat the yeast. Basically, it's a Kölsch with balls or a pale ale with with a little refinement. Goes down easy, I'll say that.
CRYSTAL COLD SNAP APA
61% 2 Row - 6 lbs
26% Wheat - 2.5 lbs
10% Vienna - 1 lb
3% Victory - 5 oz
0.5 oz Centennial @ 60 (other bittering hops okay)
1.5 oz Crystal @ 10
1.5 oz Crystal @ 0
WY 2565 Kölsch
Optional: dry-hop with 1 - 2 oz Crystal, to your taste. 5 to 7 days.
Also, adjust your bittering hop amount based on alpha acid levels to get 25 -30 IBUs in the finished beer.
I recommend mashing 60 minutes @ 154F, which should give you about 78% attenuation with WY2565. And if you adjust your water, moderate mineral levels, leaning towards the sulfate.
