Hello fellow brewers! I am trying to come up with a recipe that's something I have not seen in stores. A German Pale Ale. I am toying with the following but I need help choosing a yeast. I only have access to fermentis, many of the other dry yeast varieties, and some wyeast strains. White labs is not available from the LHBS. I do not have a way to build a starter so thinking dry yeast may be the way to go here. I was thinking of trying Safale K-97 since I've never tried a Kolsch style brew and it's a German yeast. Anywho here's the recipe I'm toying with
5 gallons
BIAB German Pale Ale
Estimated OG 1.051
Estimated FG 1.009
Efficiency 70%
8.5 LB Pale 2 row Malt
.5 LB Crystal 30L
.5 LB German Wheat Malt (for head retention)
Yeast Safale K-97
Mash for 60 min at 150F
60 min boil with the following hop additions
1oz Northern Brewer 60 min
1 oz Hallertau 5 min
Now my question is would you recommend the Kolsch yeast, lager yeast, us-05, etc?
