Description
Summer Kölsch 25L all-grain beer kit – crisp and refreshing kölsch
Summer Kölsch is an all-grain beer kit for brewing a crisp and refreshing kölsch, a pale ale that originates from the city of Cologne. If you like pilsner, this is a good choice, but kölsch is easier to brew because kölsch yeast does best at normal ale temperatures. You can read more about the style in our blog article about kölsch.
