Double Extract>Kolsch>Raspberry Wheat


I decided to brew two easy summer beers and settled on a Kolsch and the Raspberry Wheat that I made last year.  I went with extract for the time saving and knocked out both brews at the same time.  My little guy woke up at 5:23am so he got to help.  It was a really easy morning brew.
