White Labs WLP029 German Ale/Kölsch
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

My friend and I are brewing this beer on Saturday and wanted to know what your mash temp was, and the amount of strike water you used? Thanks

Hi! Hope you have fun with the Kolsch. If your system is higher efficiency you might end up with a higher gravity beer. I've rolled pretty low efficiency and just added a few extra lbs. of grain. I try to mash this for a dry-ish crisp beer, so I go with 150-155F. If you have a lot of control, I'd go with the low end. Strike water? I do batch sparging, so I think I might not be working with the same quantities as sparge brewers. I follow Charlie Papazian's table toward the end of his classic book. It s pretty good at getting to done with the correct volume. After mashing, I add a large volume of water at 180-190F, it brings the mash up to to sparge temp, and I just recirculate a bit and start draining the mash tun. I guess there are various ways to get the job done. I'm going to be brewing soon, and plan to do a Kolsch.

This will only be our second all grain so our efficiency is around 60% right now, but hoping to get better results the more we brew. Thanks for the temps answer. I will let you know how it turns out.

I have been using a rectangular picnic cooler and my efficiency has been about 60% as well. I have found that an extended mash yields more fermentables, so that's something to keep in mind.
