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.
