I really like the taste of Leinenkugel Canoe Paddler kolsch that has rye malt and three hops (Saaz, Sterling, Styrian Goldings). Could anyone suggest a whole grain recipe to use to make this kolsch? Many thanks to anyone who responds to this posting.
I’d suggest you get a kolcsh style from NB and some rye. You’ll need to experiment a bit, but you’ll find what you enjoy! Plus some brews to sample along the way. Sneezles61
These may help with the initial guess on how much rye to use:

edit: should have expanded the search criteria to “rye kolsch” earlier:
