Notes: Part 1 of my Helles Series "Ex-beer-ment": To brew three batches with the same malts, hops and water profile , and change the yeast and compare the tasting notes.
Pitch yeast at 62 deg F, free rise to 65-68 deg. F. Ferment under pressure at 1 bar (+/- 15 psi). At 2/3 final gravity raise temp slowly over 2 days to 70 deg. F. for D rest. under pressure at 1 bar. On day 9, crash to 38 deg. F for min. 24 hours. Transfer to conditioning at 34 deg. F. for min. 6 weeks (or as long as you can wait) under pressure at 15 psi.

Notes: Description - Historically brewed to compete with the rising popularity of Pilsner in the 1800s, Kölsch style beer is defined by the Kölsch Konvention of 1986 as a "light, highly attenuated, hop-accentuated, clear, top-fermenting Vollbier (full beer)" and was served in a 200ml glass called a Stange. Today we brew PK true to form utilizing all German malts, yeast and serve it in a traditional .2L Stange. Tasting Notes: Soft, lightly sweet almost honey like malt character. Medium-low to medium Noble (floral, spicy, herbal) hop aroma with light sulfur and fruit (apple, cherry, pear) notes. Fuller yet light body with crisp dryish finish.
Notes: Kolsch - Dieter recipe with tweaks from Exhibit "A"s Goody Two Shoes per CB&B Article from 4/15/19, and Pfriem's Kolsch. Floor-malted barley added per Ex.A andTet hops added per pFriem. Crocess taken from Ex. A, 40 day crash min, 2 degrees per day from 68f to 48f then 4f8 to 38f and 38f to 32f once packaging is determined. London Lager Malt, Cologne malt & hop blend used due to low quantity of supplies.
Brewday Notes: Smooth brewday, no notable issues. Transferred at .75 ppm oxygen.
Brewed: 3/30
Mash Ph: Not taken, PH meter broken
OG: 1054 hydrometer

Notes: 3L starter (10.8 oz DME) with 4 smack packs needed for 800+ Billion cells.
1st in category and overall Best of Show: 2018 Hammerdown Brew Cup (Cincinnati). Have opportunity to brew a 20 bbl batch at Braxton Brewing later in 2018.
This beer was originally brewed to the "lighter side" of the doppelbock range, but it turned out to be a great, albeit ballsy, dunkelsbock. For future brews, I will probably shave a pound or so off the Vienna/Munich combo. |

Notes: Ferment at 66 degrees until about 90% complete. Then slowly raise to 69 degrees over a couple of days to finish off.
Dry hop in the primary after fermentation is complete using mesh bag. No need to do a secondary for this recipe.
Remove dry hops after 7 days, and let sit for 2 additional days.
Rack to Keg.
Changed Dry Hop from 1oz to Citra to stuff I had on hand. We'll see how this one goes. |
