Kolsch 5 Gallon Beer Recipe Kit

Meet the German ale that drinks like a lager. Our Kolsch 5 Gallon Beer recipe kit produces a crisp, refreshing hybrid style - fermented with ale yeast but cold-conditioned like a lager for a clean, balanced finish.

Each Kolsch 5 Gallon Beer making recipe kit features noble Saaz and Perle hops for floral, slightly spicy aroma, paired with a light malt character that brings notes of biscuit and bread. A clean-fermenting ale yeast keeps the flavor bright and easy-drinking.

This is the best Kolsch 5 Gallon Beer recipe kit for beginners and seasoned brewers alike, because it includes everything you need to brew an authentic German-style ale at home. Looking to scale up? Our Kolsch 5 Gallon Beer Recipe Kits are perfect for bigger batches and serious homebrewers.

For a crystal-clear Kolsch, we recommend using a Whirlfloc Tablet on brew day and/or Gelatin Finings post-fermentation. White Labs Clarity Ferm is also a great option for reducing haze. Fermenting at cooler temps (65–71ºF) yields the best results. Every Kolsch 5 Gallon Beer making recipe kit includes step-by-step instructions with tips for cold crashing, using fining agents, and perfecting this crisp classic.
