Klink's Kolsch
This is my first brew that i designed and only my second batch overall. I based it off some information i received from a brew pub and also from recipes i saw on the web. Let me know if you have any hints for me The DME was actually the extra light. The beer looks pretty dark in the secondary fermenter, but should be lighter in the bottle.
