Adapted from Brunette Kolsch on Rye. Used my homegrown cascade hops.
1/4 campden tablet per 5 gallons used to mash and sparge to remove chlorine from tap water
Lots of positive comments from the axe throwers partaking during the event. Definitely would brew this again as it pleased both the general light beer drinkers and craft drinkers alike. Had enough variation from the munich and rye to add some uniqueness to the malt while the hops added just enough bitterness to provide flavor without scaring off the average beer drinker.
took a sampling when racking to the keg. had a great, mild flavor. had subtle sweetness for having attenuated so low. very minimal bitterness with hint of citrus and black pepper. can't wait for this to carb up. wish i had a few weeks to let this cold age a bit before serving at the axe throwing event in 1.5 weeks, but it should be ready to go.
