Kolsch bottled!

After two weeks of fermentation, the kolsch was ready for bottling. Since lagering was optional and the temperatures in my garage right now are a little high to lager a beer well, I decided to just bottle it and call it good. We’ll see how it turns out! The malt extract got a little burned on the bottom of my brew pot, so there’s a slight burned sugar flavor in it right now. I’m really hoping that goes away.

Besides, I have a bigger problem: I’m out of bottles! My seven year beer bottle surplus has finally been depleted, which is totally amazing. I’ll have to start collecting bottles from friends.
