I’m fairly new to brewing. I’ve made 10 batches with various kits. This one is the winner so far. It was a simple kit but delicious. My next batch is the all grain version.
Outstanding results with Wyeast 2565
Many people have commented on how good this beer turned out. Will brew it again!
The Kolsch is refreshing would and did buy another one..Would suggest everyone buy this product
Tried it, didn't love the result. Kind of bland.
This is the best extract beer of the 10 or so I've made so far. The steeping grains add some freshness and character. The dextrin gives it a nice mouthfeel. It's a really delicious beer. Lots of flavor yet very drinkable.Mine came out with a very slight banana-bread fragrance and a bit of vanilla-like flavor. Very pleasant but I think it's not supposed to be there in a K?_lsch style beer. Probably because I pitched the yeast at around 80F (it was a hot day!) before cooling to around 62F. Next time I'll try getting the wort cooler before pitching. There was a little bit of harshness that seemed to be reduced by lagering. Problem was, I couldn't keep myself and my friends from drinking it long enough to lager more than a couple weeks. I used the white labs K?_lsch yeast WLP029. I've read that there can be sulfur smell while this yeast is fermenting but I didn't get any of that. It was pleasantly fragrant the whole time.
Brewed this and several other styles for a seafood boil party and the crowd complimented me on this beer in particular. It is a crisp summer beer and went well with the seafood. Seemed a little heavier than a true Kolsch, but still a good all around beer. I may try the all grain version next time.
Got this with basic equipment kit for one Christmas. Sat in storage for years with the kit until I was shamed into making it. Had to buy new yeast but the steeping grains held up well. It had mild cheesy overtonesÂÂÂÂÂmaybe due to age of kit? At the time, I thought it was the best beer in the world. Color in the picture is somewhat off.
was one of my first brews and it came out excellent, smooth and very spritzy
Made the ale extract version. It's just a nice drinkable brew.
I've gotten many compliments on the beer and my friends are asking for more. The beer was very easy to brew and the instructions very straight forward. I'll brew again, especially for the summer nights.
As I am very limited in my brewing equipment, I am always on the look out for nice, light, extract-based ales. All-grain and lagering is unfortunately out of the question for me. This beer fit the bill nicely- a simple, drinkable beer for summer. This batch was very popular and went quickly. I used a white labs kolsch yeast for this brew. Brewday was very straightforward. My only complaint was I personally found it a bit boring. It didn't balance drinkability and flavor quite as well as some of the great commercial kolsch beers I've tried. Nevertheless, it was well liked by the masses.
Not bad and easy to brew. DOESN'T hold a candle to the far soperior RED KOLSCH kit. That one's great!
Like others, reminds me of days in Koln - super easy, excellent results everytime - a go to "house" beer now.
Delicious and refreshing. We used dry yeast. Just 3 weeks from brewing to delicious, refreshing, bottled beer. Yeast paints beautifully, so we can get every last delectable drop. We will definitely make this one again and again.
3rd time I'm putting up a 10gal batch. made this one my house brand!It is authentic in flavor and appearance and brings back long lost memories.absolutely delicious and refreshing!growing up in K?_ln and spending ample times in brewhouses with friendsand later immigrating to Alaska left me wanting... Not any more! This Kit is it!! Highly recommend!!!
