Mango Kolsch Recipe Review

My dog, Kolsch, woke up one morning, came out from under the sheets, yawned, and it sounded like he said ”mango’. What a great idea, a mango Kolsch!

I have tested various fruit purees, cocoa nibs, dried sweet orange peel, spice blends, etc. Using mango puree in my secondary is the secret sauce.

I use a basic Kolsch 5-gallon recipe kit and use SafAle K-97 German ale dry yeast. I add one 50-ounce (2 pounds) package of Oregon mango puree when I rack to the secondary. The result is a refreshing kolsch ale with a subtle tropical mango flavor.

My mango Kolsch is a neighborhood favorite that is lucky to make it through a weekend.
