This recipe was not specifically designed to be consistent with the BJCP style guides, but we believe it is similar to 05B - Kölsch.

Kölsch (or Kolsh or Kolsch for people afraid of dots above the o) is a traditional German blonde Ale from Cologne. It's so easy to drink that waiters in Cologne put a line on the edge of your coaster to keep up the count when serving you fresh one, and it's not unheard of to make those lines go full circle. To be fair, Kölsch is traditionally served in 0.2l glasses to drink it always fresh.

The malt bill is as simple as they come: Weyermann Cologne malt (and some acid malt for pH).

This kit comes with 2 packs of the new Kolsh dry yeast by Lallemand.

This recipe has been designed to use acid malt to reach the target mash pH. If you wish to use the recommended mineral additions to achieve the intended flavour profile, these are to be added to the boil only. This kit does not include the minerals, but these can be purchased separately.

This recipe was not specifically designed to be consistent with the BJCP style guides, but we believe it is similar to 25A - Belgian Blond Ale.

Belgian style beers feel very hard to find these days. If you're like us and enjoy the fantastic unique flavours a Belgian yeast can produce, you really start to miss one in the sea of hazy's out there. Brew one yourself!

This Belgian Golden Ale will remind you of a Leffe Blond - bubblegummy with a hint of spice on the nose, sweet malt but dry enough on the finish to make you take the next sip. 

We've created the recipe so you can decide if and how much sugar you want to add. It's more authentic if you add the suggested amount of sugar to the boil - or you can lower the ABV by leaving it out - up to you!

Target ABV: 6.2% - 6.9%
