Brewers Notes:

This recipe was an attempt to duplicate a prize winning Kolsch that I made... I got to brew it at a local brewery in Anchorage (Midnight Sun)We made some substitutions...Mt Hood iinstead of Hallertaur, flaked barley instead of Dextrin malt.

We had a big beer at first 1.060, but added water to bring it down to what mine originally was. It turned out pretty close to mine...I'll post mine (5 gallons) when I find it!!!
