Notes

Slighly modified recipe from EdWorts post here: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f62/bee-cave-brewery-koelsch-33548/

Did not have enough Perle for recipe, added Premiant to reach IBU. Assuming Premiant is relatively neutral.

Brewed on Braumeister 50.

Update: 2 weeks after bottling, still lacking decent carbonation, but very clean and refreshing taste. Carbonation level will improve from here. Will definitely be a life saver during the desperate heat experienced here along the south-western Norwegian coast line during summer.

inspired by the good result, we later went for this modified recipe:
