A versatile strain, that is great to use with lagers or Pilsners for fermentations in the 45-55°F (8-12°C) range. It may also be used for Common beer production with fermentations at 65-68°F (18-20°C). A thorough diacetyl rest is recommended after fermentation is complete.

Please Note: When choosing an ice pack option beware that the liquid yeast will not arrive cold even when shipped together. Ice packs and insulated mailing options are designed to keep the yeast colder for longer during shipment, but they will not ensure that your yeast arrives cold. We will not replace liquid yeast that arrives warm. During warmer months we strongly recommend you choose dry yeast.

Kolsch Ale | 5 Gallon Beer Recipe Kit | Extract

Blonde in color with low hop bitterness and smooth flavor Includes Perle and Saaz hops Estimated ABV: 4.3% Estimated IBUs: 24 Makes 5 gallons of finished beer A German Lager/Ale hybrid style that is traditionally made in Köln, Germany. Ideally, this beer is fermented between 58 - 64F, followed by cold aging for several weeks. It is a very tasty summer brew! Blonde in color, with low hop bitterness, a smooth flavor; grab a few bottles and head for the pool! This kit includes 4 pounds of our Pilsner liquid malt extract for authentic pils type flavor and 2 pounds of golden DME to give a more complex malt flavor to this light beer style. Also comes with 4 ounces of Maltodextrin powder to boost mouthfeel. Makes 5 gallons Estimated Original Gravity:1.042-46 SRM (Color Range): 5 IBUs: 24 Estimated Alcohol Percentage: 4.3% Our recipe kits DO NOT include grain bags, yeast or priming sugar. To find our yeast recommendations, choose your preferred kit option above and then select the drop-down menu under “Yeast Options”. For more info, click on the recommended yeast(s) below in the “You Might Also Need” section below. All included steeping grains will come milled. Liquid Malt Extract (LME) vs. Dried Malt Extract (DME) MoreBeer! recipe kits are offered in both Liquid Malt Extract and Dry Malt Extract so that our customers can choose the format that best suits their needs and brewing style. LME is a viscous liquid, similar in consistency to maple syrup. In addition to being the more affordable option, many brewers find LME easier to handle than dry extract. DME is more condensed and comes in a powder format that is similar to baking flour. Although it’s a little more costly, DME is naturally lighter in color and stays fresher for longer. We highly recommend DME when brewing light colored beers.
