From a small brewpub in Cologne, Germany, this yeast works great in Kölsch and Alt style beers. Good for light beers like blond and honey. Accentuates hop flavors, similar to WLP001. The slight sulfur produced during fermentation will disappear with age a
Notes
Mash in at 126 for 30 minutes. Decoct to raise temp to 145 - hold for 90 minutes. Mash-out at 170 for 10 min. 90 minute boil. Primary ferment at 60 F for 4 days with Kolsch yeast. Secondary at 50 F. until finished (re-pitch with German Lager yeast.)
