Rabbit's Head Kolsch Alt

This recipe started out an Altbier recipe I got from "The Cats Meow" However I had to make changes because I didnt have all the ingredients. I ended up with a whole new recipe. I call it Kolsch because I used kolsch yeast, and Rabbit's head because of what my dog brought home that day.
