Hey guys so the last time I posted here about what the right temp to ferment a Kolsch a few people said very low. Like in the low 60's, someone even said as low as 58.

Well I brewed a new batch and started fermenting the other day. I started to ferment at 65 and dropped the temp down to 60. There are a few bubbles and action every few seconds and it still looks good. I am going to give it two weeks then move to secondary for 4 weeks to cold crash.

Do you think the 2 weeks in the primary are ok at 60 or is that to low and should I go longer in the primary?

Thanks
