I honestly can’t wait to try out this beer recipe. I’ve been looking forward to brewing my own batch for a while now, and this particular recipe looks especially promising. The ingredients sound perfect, and I’m really curious to see how all the flavors come together. There’s something so satisfying about making something from scratch, especially when it’s something you can enjoy and share with others. I’ve read some great reviews and tips about this method, so I’m hopeful it’ll turn out great. It’s going to be a fun and rewarding experience from start to finish!

Thank you for your interest with this recipe, the grain bill on this is high and exceeds the target for the style. I'm trying this to help with the efficiency to increase the ABV%. I would reference you to my Run-In Summer Kolsch recipe, which is all on target for the style, that beer was very good and an excellent summer drink, the ABV ended up at 4.1%. That recipe has all my brewing steps listed, this latest recipe I will be brewing this weekend and believe will be a little darker yellow, due to the extra pounds of Cara malts. The first Blue Ribbon I won, was a Kolsch back in 2011, and I have never been able to duplicate it since. Good Luck and Enjoy

Hey, I just wanted to sincerely apologize for not responding sooner—it's been 13 days and I feel really bad about it. I didn’t mean to ignore your message or seem ungrateful for the time and effort you put into replying to my comment. Life got busy and I kept meaning to come back and respond properly, but the days just slipped by and now I feel awful for leaving you hanging. You clearly took the time to explain your reasoning behind the grain bill, the style goals, and even referenced another recipe for me to check out, and I really appreciate that. It was super generous of you to go into that level of detail and share your knowledge and experience, especially mentioning your Run-In Summer Kolsch and the fact that it hit the style so well. I also thought it was really cool that you shared your background with winning a Blue Ribbon for a Kolsch back in 2011—stuff like that makes the whole brewing community more personal and meaningful. I should have acknowledged all of that much sooner and I’m honestly sorry that I didn’t. I never meant to seem like I didn’t care or wasn’t interested, because I definitely am. You didn’t deserve to get silence in return after such a thoughtful message, and I’m really sorry for that. I hope it didn’t come off the wrong way. I’ve read everything you said and it was genuinely helpful and interesting, and I regret not showing my appreciation earlier. I’ll definitely check out the Kolsch recipe you mentioned, and I’ll be keeping an eye out for how this latest one turns out too. Thanks again for your time and insight. Recipe looks good though.
