Hey Guys and Gals! An all-grain Kolsch-style ale with flaked corn, honey and raw cane sugar. Makes 5 US gallons.
Ingredients
Grain
8 pounds Kolsch malt
4 pounds pale malt
1/2 pound Special Pale (high diastatic power)
2 pounds flaked corn
Hops
20 grams French Strisselspalt (AA 1.2%), 30 minutes into the boil
36 grams Huell Melon (AA 8.1%), at flame out
Yeast and finishing
2 grams SafAle BE-134
8 grams SafAle US-97
1 tsp yeast nutrient
1 cup of honey
1 cup of raw cane sugar
3 oz priming sugar
Directions
1. Bring 3.25 to 3.5 gallons of water to 170F and add the grains in a grain bag. The temperature will drop to about 120 to 130F.
2. Boil the flaked corn for 4 minutes and add it to the mash. Stir, raise slowly to 150F and hold for 60 minutes. Mash out at 170F for 10 minutes.
3. Remove the grain bag without squeezing it and let it drain. Bring the wort to a rolling boil and boil 70 minutes, adding the hops on the schedule above.
4. Cool the wort, transfer to the primary, top off with cold water, aerate, and take a gravity reading.
5. At around 75F, pitch the yeast as a 2L starter with the nutrient. Ferment 1 week at the yeast’s suggested temperature, then rack to a secondary for another week.
6. Warm the honey and cane sugar in a cup of water and add them to the beer.
7. Sterilize the bottles, add the priming sugar, siphon slowly and cap.
Bitterness: 16 IBU.
