Lotm Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I'm not sure if anybody can remember my bizarre, horrid brew day that I really didn't enjoy. Well I tried one of the Kolscheseses, only 1 week in the bottle after some cold conditioning in a cube. It has turned out fairly tasty, low ABV as predicted (about 3.8% or thereabouts [sad]) More bitterness than expected (a good thing) but nowhere enough flavour and aroma. This will help me next time. recipe is as follows: Style: K\xf6lsch Batch Size (fermenter): 22.00 l Boil Time: 60 Minutes Ingredients: ------------ 0.25 kg Cara-Pils/Dextrine 1.00 kg Light Dry Extract 1.50 kg Extra Pale Liquid Extract\t\t 22.00 g Perle [8.30 %] - Boil 60.0 min 0.50 Items Whirlfloc Tablet (Boil 15.0 min 10.00 g Spalt [3.50 %] - Boil 10.0 min 10.00 g Spalt [3.50 %] - Boil 5.0 min 1.0 pkg SafAle German Ale (DCL/Fermentis #K-97) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I'm glad it wasn't a total write-off Lotm. Just looking through your recipe; what size boil are you doing? 1/2 tablet of Whirfloc is enough for a full boil. Personally I wouldn't worry about the Whirfloc in this brew. You are just using extract and 250g specialty grain. I may be completely off the mark here (PB2 will step in to correct me if I am wrong) but extract has already had the hot break removed. So the trub in the kettle will mostly be the cold break and hop matter. You can strain this when adding it to the FV and if some works its way into the FV it isn't a big deal.

Lotm Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Oops. Converted it from an AG recipe and forgot to take out the Whirlfloc. To answer your question, about 12L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 To answer your question' date=' about 12L. [/quote'] Since you aren't using Whirfloc I don't really care anymore [biggrin] Plus you made me write out that post for nothing. Do you think I like posting on here?

Lotm Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Hmmmmm. Yes? [unsure] If it makes you feel better, I use whirlfloc in my partials and based on your comments, I probably overuse it there . I should probably be using a quarter.
