About to make my first Kolsch. What is your fermentation schedule out of curiosity?

Long, hot day in the desert. Long cold tripel now.

That does look good. I don't miss the desert.

Well, looking like I have to go to Brisbane for a couple weeks. Maybe the monsoon will start before I get back!

For that particular batch, the schedule was “set and forget”.

I brewed that at our city house and then went back to the farm for 2 weeks. I don’t have temp control at that place, so, after chilling and pitching the yeast (K-97), I put the fermenter in the tub in the guest bath, put about 8” of 64-65° water in the tub and set thermostat (baseboard heat) to between 60 and 65. Came back in 2 weeks and the beer was done and had dropped crystal clear.

Sometimes, less is more.

A HB Spotted Cow clone made 10/6/18. Found in the back of the frig and kinda think it should have stayed there. Was OK but that's about it. Was better fresh for sure.

Maibock. Bayern is probably my favorite commercial brewery. They pretty much only brew traditional, German styles. None of their beers have “hazy”, “pastry” or “milkshake” on the label. The owner and the brewmaster are both native Bavarians who apprenticed at the same, 500-year-old brewery.

Ok, nap time!

A bit grassy at the moment. I think a little time & this will shine! I’m looking forward to seeing it hit it’s prime!

Nice! I’m using the Wyeast Kolsch yeast. I just heard that one is tricky.

Love that stuff. I had planned on grabbing a couple cases on my way back from Chicago at the end of the month. Cancelled now, but hopefully we are still able to make it there later this year. Wife is getting antsy.
