Second BIAB - Lloydies Krispy Kolsche; now in the glass!

Hi! Ok, So I have now poured the first glass of KK. Started at 1.056 and finished at 1.010 I used a Wyeast 'activator' that was made for Kolsche as I could not find the K-97 at the time.

Hi PP, Thanks for that great reply! I have had a look at the suggested recipe, and yes I think Ill give that one a try while the weather is still cool.

Thanks everyone.

It came out OK.. for the first batch anyway. Can do with a little tweaking.
Overall, still happy with the first attempt and has given me drive to go for it again!

Cheers,

Brad

I was aiming for a czech style pilsner, but the recipe is a bit of a mix n mash from other stuff I have read on some ...
