Thanks M...I'm quite impressed the way the 2 pkts of gervin performed in my pseudo lager at 14ðc...its VERY clear and I can pour the whole bottle..flavour seems good too. It could be a little drier but nothing to worry about.

Next time put some sugar in the reciepe or an adjucnt like flaked maize or rice to dry things out a bit
It got 500g of flaked maize. ..it is only around 6 weeks in the bottle though. ...

I'm surprised you dont think it's dry enough. Notty normally attenuates to 85% for me
Yep mine gets 84%...I have been mixing it up a bit tonight.....
That's always going to end well on a school night [emoji481] [emoji23]

...off tomorrow. ..it's an American wheat now...feeling rather mellow! Mrs Clint has a face like a cracked piss pot as I have been getting the dog in a frenzy with her squeaky thing and giving commands in other languages (she is learning hand signsls). The other languages consist of made up stuff....but it's quite funny as she responds to the hand signals...
Is that the dog or the misses that's working from hand signals? [emoji23]

Regular.
It's currently fermenting at the moment but has started off really well, I'll let you know how it turns out when it's ready to drink...
..just the dog. Unfortunately. ..

I love the mead yeast. Made 5 meads that are aging for Christmas. Good ph tolerance and fermenting speed. I have so many of CML yeast in stock. I have given up with liquid yeasts.

I am fermenting 5 gallons of faux lager at the moment, using CML Kolsch yeast.
I pitched two re-hydrated packs in the fermenter at 14c and then let it rise to 14.5c. It fermented out in less than 5 days. After 7 days from pitching I let it rise to 18c for another 7 days and will be hoping to cold crash and add gelatine after the weekend ready for bottling 3 weeks after pitching yeast.
It appears to be going very well.
At these prices I think I will be using two packs for every 5 gallon brew I do.

You will realise your wasting money as I think it's been tried with no difference noticed.

I've tried two packs of CML yeast in a brew and all I gained was more sediment. That's it.

When I am fermenting close to lager temperature, then for the sake of 80p I would rather pitch at professional brewers pitch rate, than take a chance of making an inferior beer.

Breweries must have a real tough time with all that extra sediment in that case :whistle:
I thought it was yourself @Gunge but wasn't quite sure:thumb:
What you could do is over build a yeast starter using your two packs and keep replenishing to keep it going.@MyQul could probably give you a bit more insight.:thumb:

Tbh, CML yeast is so cheap you may as well just pitch fresh pack each time,

I wondered what numbers you guys are hitting with the Kolsch Yeast?
I just got -
OG. 1.052
FG. 1.010
Attenuation. 80%
Are yours similar ?
