Mandarina bavaria hop / orange Kolsch question...

Ron Pattinson, in his blog which was linked above, called anyone who disagrees with him or doesn't study beer history as much as he does, a homebrew ****.

My calling him an unsavory turd is in response to being called a ****, and was far less offensive.

I guess I don't understand why try to make a Kölsch and intentionally step on it's delicate flavors with orange? Just saying.

I said that I dont want to brew a classic Kolsch. I do have some Kolsch yeast in stock and I want to try something different...

Poor OP, little did he know what he started.

Well to speak more generally, I find someone who categorizing others as twats in a blog post to be unsavory.

I fear that blog post was taken out of context, and might not give the reason for his harsh words.

Wow my thread is turning very funny... All I want is to brew a nice tasting beer... I am sure that it will turn awsome. I wrote the word KOLSCH because I have some of that yeast in stock.... I am sure it will be a good beer.

Please try to help me for my initial question or to come with others ideas than telling me it wont be a real KOLSCH... this is something I aready know.

Also grab a beer and take some deep breathes lol

Its clearly defined what an IPA is. But that didn’t stop people from changing it all around, clouding it up, adding flour to it, and all kinds of other stuff. This is just what homebrewers do. They add coco puffs, frosted flaked or waffles to beer too. I think sometimes just because they can. People have ideas and lets just say they are not all good ideas. Orange kolsch doesn’t sound too bad

AMEN.... I am able to brew according to beer style... I made many REAL Kolsch... what I like from brewing is to sometimes start from an idea that sounds good to me and try it... looks like many people are stiffer than me. I just maybe put two words together than doesnt sounds normal lol Orange Kolsch !

I brew a lot of Kölsch, sometimes with orange peel, sometimes with coriander and cardamom. IMO, if you use a light hand with the orange peel, the delicate flavors dance well together. I use 50/50 sweet and bitter orange peel, I also like the McCormick Seville orange peel, but my favorite is fresh zest from either navel oranges or those little cutie oranges.

Orange Kolsch sounds like a good possible beer. I did a Citra Pils this year, turned out fine. Using Citra hops in a Pilsner is also not to style, but makes an interesting brew.

Im in for a Citra Pilsner !

Oh hey also, Mandarina is a fine hop, nice aroma and herbaceous bittering, just don't expect a lot of citrus out of it.

Bummer, I was daydreaming of savory home brew ****.....

All this Kolsch talk has me thinking I should brew another one. Kolsch or Kolsch like the important thing is actually brewing a style of beer you like, even if it's not to style. Great read of the threads! Nice to see all the passion for beer styles.
