• 10 lbs German Pilsner Malt
• 0.5 lbs German Munich Malt
• 1.5 oz Spalt hops (4% AA bittering for 60 minutes)
• White Labs WLP029 German Ale/ Kölsch or Wyeast 2565 Kölsch

If you are an extract brewer, use 8 lbs of Pilsner LME and 0.25 lbs of Munich LME. Sometimes Spalt hops are difficult to find (especially with the hop shortage). You can substitute the Spalt hops with Saaz, Hallertau, or Tettnanger. Mt. Hood can also be used. The hop you select is strictly for bittering, because Kölsch should have little to no hop flavor and no hop aroma.

Mash the grain for 90 minutes at 150°F (65°C). This should give you a good fermentable wort. Boil the wort for 90 minutes. At the 60 minute mark, add your hops.

Ferment the beer at 60°F (15°C) or as close as you can get to 60°F (15°C). Once the fermentation is complete, find a cold place to store the beer for a few weeks. A lagering period will help the beer if you can do it, but don’t sweat it if you can’t.

At bottling, add 1 ¼ cup of light DME that is boiled in 2 cups of water for 10 minutes. If you are kegging, carbonate the beer to 2.5 volumes.

Original Gravity: 1.045         IBU: 25

Ingredients:

6.6# (2 cans) Light Liquid Malt Extract (LME)

1# Crushed Crystal Malt

1 oz. UK Kent Goldings Hop Pellets 5.5%AA (bittering)

1 oz. UK Kent Goldings Hop Pellets 5.5%AA (aroma)

1 Whrlfloc Tablet (Irish Moss)

11.5 gm. S-04 Dry Ale Yeast (Whitbread Strain)

Muslin Grain Bag

Procedure:

Begin by soaking the cans of LME in a bowl or pot of warm water to make it easier to get out of the can later.

Fill your brewpot (preferably a 20qt. stainless stock pot) with two gallons of cold water.

Place the crushed grains in the muslin grain bag and secure with a knot at the top.  Place the bag into the brewpot and begin heating the water.  When the water reaches a temperature of 170F remove the bag and discard.  Continue heating the water until it reaches a boil.  When the water is boiling, remove the pot from the heat and slowly add the LME and the DME stirring constantly to avoid scorching.  When thoroughly mixed return the brewpot to the heat and return to a boil.  BEWARE OF THE BOILOVER!  When the mixture first boils it may produce a heavy foam.  Watch for the foam to rise, and when it does, turn off the flame until the foam subsides (if using an electric stove, it may be necessary to lift the brewpot off of the burner).  After the foam has risen once, it will generally lessen, and it’s safe to return to a steady boil without foaming over.  However, sometimes foaming may occur again.  If so, simply repeat this procedure until foaming finally stops.  After you have achieved a steady boil, add the bittering hops and continue boiling.  After boiling for 45 minutes add the Whirfloc Tablet.  After boiling for 60 minutes remove the brewpot from the heat, add the aroma hops, and cover.

While the wort is cooling, fill your sanitized fermenter with 3 gallons of cold water.  Then proof your yeast by filling a sanitized measuring cup with about a cup of warm (about 80F) water, sprinkle the yeast into the water, mix with a sanitized spoon, and cover with a piece of foil.  In about fifteen minutes you should see some foaming and smell a “bready” aroma.  If you don’t, try it again with your spare packet of yeast (all good brewers keep spare yeast at the ready in the fridge), but 99% of the time it works just fine.

When the wort has cooled to under 100F, add it to the cold water in the fermenter (splashing is ok and even recommended to aerate the wort at this stage).  Try to leave as much of the sediment on the bottom of the brewpot as you can.  Take the temperature of the wort in your fermenter.  It should be below 75F.  Remove a sample to measure the Original Gravity with your hydrometer (do not return the sample to the fermenter when finished).  Then add the yeast and seal your fermenter with an airlock (bucket) or blow-off hose (carboy) and place in a spot where the temperature stays between 65F and 70F. Within the next 24 hours fermentation should start.

Grains:

4 lbs. Pilsner Malt
4 lbs. Munich Light

Hopping Schedule:

.75 oz. Perle, 9% alpha, 60 min.
.75 oz. Tettnanger, 3.80% alpha, 40 min.
.75 oz. Hallertau Tradition, 5.80% alpha, 40 min.
.50 oz. Tettnanger, 3.80% alpha, 10 min.
.50 oz. Hallertau Tradition, 5.80% alpha, 10 min.

Technical Specifications:

OG: 1.040 - 1.047
FG: 1.007 - 1.012
Alcohol: 4.6-5.3% by volume
Yeast: Wyeast Bavarian (W2206)
Protein Rest: 122°F
Conversion Rest: 155°F

Mashing Procedure:

Add approximately two gallons of water at 129°F to the grains to hit the first strike temperature of 122°F. Hold for 15 minutes. At the end of this time, draw off about 40 percent of the mash into a separate pot, leaving as much liquid behind as possible.

While maintaining the temperature in the main mash at about 122°F, raise the temperature of the decoction mash by about 5°F per minute to 155°F, stirring constantly. The mash you moved to the decoction pot was fairly thick and dry, but there is water bound up by the starch that will be released when heated. If it is still a little dry, add additional water to make stirring easier and to help avoid scorching the grain on the bottom of the pot.

Hold the decoction mash at this temperature for five minutes, then again raise its temperature by about 5°F per minute until boiling, stirring constantly. Once the mash is boiling constant stirring is not as necessary, but stir it occasionally to make sure the entire mash is cooked thoroughly. Boil for about five minutes.

At the end of this time, remove the decoction mash from the heat. Begin adding it back to the main mash a few cups at a time, stirring thoroughly between additions to distribute the heat uniformly. When about three-quarters of the decoction mash has been added back, begin monitoring the temperature. When it reaches 155°F, discontinue adding the decoction mash back to the main mash. Set the remainder aside until it cools to about 155°F, and then add it back to the mash.

Test for conversion with iodine by placing several drops of the mash, with no visible particles of grain or husk, in a small puddle on a white porcelain dish (Corning Corelle works well and doesn’t stain) and letting it cool. Then, placing a drop of iodine into the middle of the puddle, observe any color reaction along the edge of the iodine. If you observe the colors blue or black, then there’s still starch in suspension and the mash needs to continue. However, if brown appears or there is no color change, then it’s safe to prepare for sparging.

If you’re not using a combination mash/lauter tun, transfer the mash to the lauter tun. In either case thoroughly stir the mash and let it settle for 10 minutes before initiating the sparge. Collect seven gallons of wort. You can be testing the specific gravity and tasting the sweet wort. Discontinue the sparge when the specific gravity of the runoff drops below about 1.010 or the taste reminds you of warm tea (an indication that tannins are being extracted from the husks). If this happens before you’ve collected the entire seven gallons of wort, just use plain water to make up the difference.

Boil the wort for a total of 90 minutes, adding hops per the schedule indicated. Before beginning to chill the wort, reserve two quarts of wort for later use in priming the beer. You can use sanitized mason jars for this purpose, which you’ll then store in the refrigerator.

Chill the remaining wort to about 70°F and then pitch the yeast. Transfer the fermenter to a 45°F refrigerator for three to four hours after pitching and ferment for seven to 10 days, then transfer to a secondary fermenter.

When the beer is clear (about two to three weeks), rack it to the bottling bucket into which the reserved priming wort has been poured. Bottle as usual.

Ingredients:

1 Coopers Lager kit (3.75lbs) or any lager or pilsner kit
2 lbs light dry malt
2 Fresh packets of ale yeast
1 packet of pilsner enzyme (amylase enzyme)

Procedure:

Wort boiled for 15 minutes. This preserves the light color of the wort.
Fermentation will also take longer, about 3 to 4 weeks at 68F, because the enzymes will take awhile to convert and unfermentable sugar(body) to sugars the yeast can convert to alcohol.
