NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3400
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to
spare for next year. Please consider it.

As always, donors and donations are publicly acknowledged
and accounted for on the HBD web page. THank you

Subject: Kolsch

Rowan;
Thankyou for the response, and I will search to see what others have done
for the Kolsch style. I had received a couple of other responses, both
suggesting that I drop the Vienna malt in that this would make the final
product too malty for the style. I have brewed it already, but in the
next few times using this yeast (I re-use 3-5 times) I will experiment
with using no Vienna (nor Munich) then I will put it back in and see what
the differences are.
Greetings to brewers down under!
