Boil: 60 minutes SG 1.205 2 gallons

5.0 oz. Corn sugar
Irish Moss for last 15 minutes.
Hops: 1.49 oz. Cascade (6% AA, 60 min.)
0.50 oz. Cascade (6% AA, 15 min.)
Yeast: Pitched two bottles of WLP029 German Ale/Kolsch yeast.
Log: Brewed on 4/28/02. On 5/04/02 racked to the secondary fermenter and added one one fl. oz. bottle of lemon extract for lemon flavor. 5/18/02 bottled in 22 oz bottles.
Carbonation: Primed each 22 oz. bottle with 7 Primetabs. Produces low to medium carbination. 8 tabs is probably the right choice, for my taste anyway.
Tasting: 5/18/02 tasted during bottling.....whoa, this stuff has a kick!
7/14/02 Still not very smooth and lacks any real body. It is a definite "buzz" brew though. Next time I will add a little Amber DME and try some different hops to get more flavor.
