Brewday: Cascade Kolsch
Jul. 6th, 2015 09:13 pmToday I'm brewing a BIAB all-grain batch based on a recipe for Reissdorf Kolsch I found in the book Beer Captured.
Here is my Recipe and Pro
This is for a 3 Gallon Batch
4.35 Gallons Water to start with
4.5lb German 2 Row Pilsner
.75 lb German Wheat
.5 lb Munich Malt 10L
Mash Step 1: Brought water to 126F and added grain to bag in pot - let rest at 122F for 20 minutes
Mash Step 2: Brought water to 148F and let rest for 90 minutes
Mash Step 3: Brought water up to 168F and let rest for 10 minutes
Removed grain and squeezed as much as possitble out.
Took a pre-boil Hydrometer Reading: 1.04 and Refractometer Reading: 12.5 brix
Brought water up to the 3.96 gallon mark in the pot and brought to a boil
Boiled 60 minutes
Hop Schedule:
.75 oz Tettnanger 4.0 at 60 minutes then .
.30 oz Cascade at 15 minutes
1 tsp Irish Moss at 15 minutes then
.30 oz Cascade at Flameout
Post boil Hydrometer Reading: 1.062 and Refractometer Reading: 14.5
Icebath cooled in order to conserve water (besides, it's summer - the hose water is about as warm as the wort) I was going to to No Chill, but I am leaving on vacation tomorrow - so I wanted to get this into the fermenter today.
Pitched the yeast I saved from the previous batch Wyeast 1007 German Ale
Batch went into the fermentation chamber at 63F
