Wyeast 2575-PC Kolsch II
Wyeast 2575-PC Kolsch II
This authentic Kolsch strain from one of Germany’s leading brewing schools has a rich flavor profile which accentuates a soft malt finish. It has Low or no detectable diacetyl production and will also ferment well at colder temperatures for fast lager type beers.
Notes
Execute all-grain mashing as traditional (165 deg, etc.). Add hops per schedule. Now on to the peppers. Of the 3 peppers I use, the order of heat is Cayenne, Jalapeno, and Hungarian. The Hungarian peppers look like yellow elongated bell peppers and are very mild in heat and flavor. Use approximately 75% of the peppers during the brewing process..using all of the cayenne and hungarian, and about 1/2 of the jalapeno. You can slice or rip apart the peppers. Ripping them apart releases more oils than cutting the peppers (don't rub your eyes!!!). Add the peppers in the last 3 minutes of the boil. Save the boiled peppers and (now that they are sanitized) place them into the primary. When transfering to the secondary ferment, slice/rip up the remaining jalapeno peppers, boil them in about 3 cups of water then add them to the secondary. Enjoy!!
