Sam301 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hi there I am new to home brewing. Looking at brew helgas cool kolsch. This is an extract of tge recipie. Am i reading this correctly with the boil being 20min. It seems short based on stuff that i have been reading. Step 1: Mix In a good sized pot (around 8 litres) bring about 500g of Light Dry Malt to the boil with 3 litres of water.Add half of the Helga Hops and boil for 10min.Now add the remaining Helga Hops and boil for a further 10min then remove from the heat.Set the pot in a cold/ice water bath to cool then strain into a fermenting vessel.Add the Canadian Blonde and 500g of Brew Enhancer 2, stir to dissolve then top up with cool water to the 20 litre mark and stir thoroughly.Check the brew temperature and top up to the 23 litre mark with warm or cold water (refrigerated if necessary) to get as close as possible to 18C.Sprinkle the dry yeast or stir in liquid yeast, fit the lid .

Mark D Pirate Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 You need to account for the bitterness already in the kit can , you won't get much bitterness from Helga with a short boil but will get extra flavour and aroma . If you were doing a full extract ( unbittered liquid extract ) then you would use longer boil times but with a kit that's been done already Good luck with it !
