Kölsch Bottled and Ready

The Label

My brother and cousin came over to the house to bottle the Kölsch, while I studied for finals. The bottles were carbonated with corn sugar, which Jamie measured based on weight.

I named the beer 200 ml, because the beer is supposed to be served in a 200 ml (6.7 oz.) glass. We were able to get a hold of some of these glasses, shipped originally from Cologne, Germany. The beer is called a Kölsch style, because the European Union protects the name Kölsch, as it can only use that name if it is made in Cologne, Germany. Kölsch receives the same protection as Champagne.
