Brew Batch #68 Jake's Juice

Ah yes, the final JJ's for the year (told him to make this one stretch!) I'm always amazed at the change in color and how this recipe has evolved. The swill taste has a definite "American" slight tart to it; whereas, the German kolsh 2565 reigned in the subtle sweetness of the same malt backbone. I changed nothing but the yeast and both times the same results. For me the jury has spoken and 2565 will be the stable horse for this one from now on, of course if Jake prefers 1010 he'll get exactly what he wants, just may have a separate fermenter going for me next summer. FG 1.006+0.001 @68F to give a consistent 5.91%
