Kölsch - 1 Hour Recipe Kit

A classic pale, refreshing and slightly fruity beer

Inspired by beers such as: Früh Kölsch, Solemn Oath Lü Kölsch, Reissdorf Kölsch

The Kölsch originates from Cologne (Köln), Germany, and is known for its crisp and delicate nature. It is a pale, straw-colored ale with brilliant clarity and a white, fluffy head. Kölsch beers offer subtle fruity and floral aromas, with a light malt sweetness and a restrained hop bitterness. Kölsches are typically light-bodied and highly drinkable, making them a popular choice for warm weather or as a sessionable option.

Simply Brewing® 1 Hour Recipe Kits contain all the ingredients for new and experienced brewers to easily brew 2.5 gallons of beer in a simple, 1-hour brewday with the use of a 1 Hour Equipment Kit and any 10+ quart stovetop pot. The brew process involves dissolving malt extract into heated water, steeping bags of milled grain (if applicable), boiling and/or steeping bags of hop pellets, and cooling the wort (unfermented beer) in a sink to be added to your fermentation vessel. The wort is then topped off with chilled water for an even faster cool, and the yeast is added. All this including cleanup takes just 1 hour!
