Wyeast 2565 Kolsch
Wyeast 2565 Kolsch
A hybrid of ale and lager characteristics. This strain develops excellent maltiness with subdued fruitiness, and a crisp finish. Ferments well at moderate temperatures.
Notes
I added 1/2 package oak chips, and used kolsch rather than heff yeast. The combination adds a slight tang to the finish.
