Lallemand Kölsch

[Rugby Fan.]

I have this fermenting at 18c and will be bottling.

After primary fermentation finishes, should I raise the temp for a while before bottling? It's temp range is 15-25C.

I plan on bottle conditioning at room temp for 3 weeks and then moving the bottles to the basement to "lager".

Anyone have any general hints/tips for this yeast?

I've only used this yeast once, fermented at 19 then raised to 21 when gravity had leveled out (only took 3 days). Held it at 21 a few days and cold crashed.

One of my better-received beers. Was a nice, clean, almost crystal clear brew. Went down a treat on a hot summer day...

Ya it's a big crowd pleaser. A great way to introduce home/craft brews to the masses.
