Dragonfly Kölsch

Here is a recipe I came up with to attempt to clone the Firefly Kölsch that McMenamin's used to make. I failed pretty bad on my mashing attempt and added some extract. I'm still trying to effectively do all-grain brews on my stove using an electric turkey fryer. The color is really nice.
