Solid Kolsch Kit
Fermented at 72ºF with Lallbrew Koln Kolsch Yeast and the beer came out very crisp, clear, and clean. Would brew again.

Koffee Kolsch is where it's at!
I brewed this according to recipe, except I added 2.5 oz of whole bean espresso roast for 48 hours after 3 weeks in primary. FANTASTIC! Whole bean doesn't alter the color too much, but adds plenty of coffee aroma. Koffee Kolsch is a must have brew.

This is a really good recipe. I ferment cool at 56 F for 10 days, keg with diecytl rest 2 days at room temp, crash to 38 F, force carb and condition for two more weeks and then enjoy. The longer it conditions, the clearer it gets. Crystal clear after 30 days. Great beer anytime of year.

Perfect summer batch
Beer came out great. But I used US-05 yeast and flavor was more similar to a Blonde Ale. Next time I'll be using Kolsch yeast and try the difference.

Great Kolsch
This was my first kit from Morebeer.com. I like to have a Kolsch on tap in the summer months as a lawnmower beer. I brewed this one as an AG BIAB and it turned out great. Primaried for four weeks and then went into the keg. Had this in the fridge for almost two months before serving. Nice clean flavor and slightly hazy, just like the picture. I will do this one again.

Reminds me of a great night in Cologne
On a trip through Germany and Belgium last fall, I ended up for one very short night in Cologne, Germany. That one day and night in Cologne introduced me to K?_lsch beer served in the traditional .2L stange glasses. We sampled several glasses each from about 10 different brands that night (who can drink only one of this refreshing crisp beer?). I enjoyed that leg of the trip so much, I returned to Cologne this past March to share my Cologne beer experience with a coworker.

This beer is very similar to the C?_lner Hofbr?_u Fr?_h brand in my opinion. A very clean finish attributable to 4 months of lagering at 35-40 degrees. A slightly hazy appearance (I don't filter my beers), but not cloudy. A clean, dry, slightly fruity finish makes a this a wonderful drinking beer. This recipe lacks the sometimes bitter tang aftertaste of a few of the K?_lsch beers. Served from force-carbonated kegs, be careful to not over-carbonate this one.
