4 Dog Brewery

Mr. Robobrew Just tossed this together quickly just to make beer and use up my Citra hops in which I bought too much of. I found this water profile on the internet and it seems to be in the range where I am used to. This is why I am not going to brew this style and when the hops are done, I think that will be it. However, if this is good, I will continue to brew it for myself and not worry about what guests want. This water profile is similar to the last one in October and was tossed out. I still don't know why it sucked. Elsie Ingredients 13 lbs. CMC 14 g Citra @ 60 min. 20 g Citra @ 20 min. 71 g Citra @ 0 min. 56 g Citra dry hop 3 - 5 days before kegging.

This is my last Kolsch for awhile. Brewing lagers for now. Ingredients 11 lbs. CMC 8 ozs. Wheat 6 ozs. Munich II 69 g Hallertauer at 60 min.

I am sure this water profile is fine, but if you have to tweek it, you will be tossing some salts out. I am not sure what to do to make it better though as I have been using 75/25 for the last 2 years now. It did turn out okay and then went south on me. The previous Kolsch seemed to be fine so I am going with the same water profile for now. Hope to make lots of this next summer.
