brew #021: kalashni-kolsch

Ready, aim, brew. This is my first attempt at a kolsch. It is a style that I haven’t found a lot of commercial examples of for whatever reason or another, but the BJCP description always leaves my mouth watering. It is a style perfect for summer session drinking, and I hope to have this kegged and ready quickly (note I will not be doing the usual cold-conditioning for this style though, I don’t have the ability quite yet).
