So my lady and I really like a Kolsch from Hess brewing here in San Diego. It’s called Claritas if anyone might be familiar.
Anyhow, I asked one of the beer tenders I know if they could get me a recipe and all they offered was what is listed as the ingredients.
Pilsner, Munich and wheat malts. Tettnang and liberty hops.
I looked at a few Kolsch recipes and built mine as follows using grains I know my LHBS carries…
78.4% Weyerman pils
11.8% Weyerman Munich
7.8% Rahr white wheat
2% Weyerman acidulated
1oz liberty FWH
0.5oz liberty 45min
1.5oz Tettnang 15min
0.5oz Liberty 15min( only because I’ll buy a 2oz bag and I’m not keeping 0.5oz of anything)
1oz Tettnang 0min
Total IBU:28
SRM 4.5
OG 1.048
FG 1.010
I only get about 65% BE
Might seem like a lot of hops, but the Tettnang is only 2.1AA
I usually only do a 45 min boil.
What would you change?
