Kolsch type

[Ian_68]

Guys. My next brew will be a Kolsch (partial mash). Just looking at the yeast calculator and wondering what to set it at i.e. Ale / Lager / Hybrid? Theoretically, it could be any of those.

Cheers

Ian

I go ale if you're brewing at 15c or above.

Like drunkula alludes to, it depends on what temp you plan on fermenting at. Lagers need twice as much yeast (because of the cold fermentation), whereas ales need much less yeast to get the job done

For a Kolsch yeast the pitch rate is for an ale.

Well i'll be fermenting around 18 degC so ale it is :-)

Cheers
