First brew session of the summer break from school. This event was hosted by Jeff and we were blessed with a perfect day for brewing. The only slightly negative was that Mark was there. As hard as we tried to keep him away he was like a fly on a dog turd.
It actually was good that Mark was there as he brought and shared with us a growler of Lancer Pilsner from the C.F.W. Malther Brewing Company. This is a great tasting brew which as stated: chases away all Sadness and Disappointment. It certainly did. Thanks Pastor L.
This was probably the easiest and fastest brew day for quite some time. The was great because it left more time to play many rounds of Sheephead while enjoying the company (and beer).
This is a Northern Brewer number: Mango Fusion Kölsch – an extract kit. It worked out well because Jeff needed us off his property by 6 and extract brews generally go quickly. Some sort of big grilling event that Jeff was hosting that Mark and I were not worthy of. That’s fine. We did better. Mark went to Danny’s Meats and picked up some great sausages that were grilled to perfection at his place. We enjoyed them with the DIPA that was previously brewed on the May 1 Big Brew Day. What a winning combination and a great end to a fantastic brew day. Thanks Mark.
Here is the simple lineup for the making of Mango Fusion Kölsch:
Malt Extracts
- 6 lb Pilsen Malt Syrup
- 1 lb Pilsen Light Dry Malt Extract (DME)
Hops
- 1.5 oz Hallertau (60 min)
Yeast
- Fermentis Safale K-97 (59-68° F)
Other Additions
- 15 ml Gourmet Mango Extract (keg)
As long as Jeff leaves his hands off, it should turn out fine.
