Brew #91: Kolsch

It's hot in Austin, TX in the summertime. Time for some easy drinking beers to help refresh. A Kolsch should be a nice mellow session beer.

Brew #90: Ayinger Maibock

I've been on a malt kick recently. Bocks, Doppelbocks, Oktoberfests - anything a bit more malty. I really liked the Hofbrau Maibock, but I also like Ayinger's beers. Time for and Ayinger Maibock clone. The original recipe called for Hersbrucker and I had to substitute Mt. Hood. I went straight to keg out of the primary and thought it was still too sweet. I let it sit in the keg in the beer closet for an extra month to dry out a bit more.
