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

How long is the boil for this recipe? I'm accustomed to seeing 90 minutes for a Kolsch. Thanks!

This was actually the worst beer I ever brewed. I'm thinking the yeast was unhealthy. Since this beer, I have been oxygenating and making starters, and getting better results, but I've never rebrewed this one. I'm not sure about the 60 vs 90 minutes question for a Kolsch.
