Does anyone have specs on Schill Kolsch Malt?

Backstory:  So I was
looking for German pale malt to brew a test batch. The recipe was designed for
me
by @testingapril to be a showcase IPA for Conan yeast and honey malt:

Northern Brewer, my LHBS, doesn't carry any German pale malt
I learned, so I was going to get a British pale ale malt when I saw Schill
Kolsch Malt. They described it as being "extremely German" in
character, which sounded "extremely" tasty. We'll see.

4.5°L. From a maltster co-op based in Osthofen, near Koln,
this malt is used by some of the brewpubs in that city to make their trademark
ale. Kolsch malt has a light, sweet and extremely German flavor and aroma with
a little bit of biscuit character. We've had good results using a multi-temp
step mash with Kolsch malt, but a single infusion -- although not traditional -- works as well. Style nerds please take note: the maltster rates the color of
this malt at 9 EBC. If you use 100% Kolsch malt for the grist of a Kolsch, you
will be within spec according to Eric Warner's Kolsch (7-14 EBC, or 3.5-7 SRM, p. 51), but definitely on the dark end of the BJCP guidelines. If you are
brewing for a competition, you may want to incorporate some pils or wheat malt
into the grain bill to dilute the color.

Wow, you murdered that post pretty good, Chino. Sounds like it would be pretty similar (maybe a little darker) Vienna style malt.

Depends on the Vienna. Gambrinus Vienna is 6L. Some others are as low as 3.5L.
