This Kolsch yeast is very interesting. I did Richard's recipe viewtopic.php?f=39&t=1880 (http://nbcba.org/forum/index.php?topic=1880.0) with it and its very cool. Very light, basically Pilsner so the yeast really shines through. It seemed to me though that it needed at least a few weeks to condition in the keg before it got good.

Hope I can try yours at some point Jamie? (I'm up around perth periodically - maybe I could swing by sometime)

It’ll be my first time dealing with this yeast strain but from the information I’ve gathered, I plan to ferment around 58-62F for 4 weeks, keg and cold crash at 45F for 2 weeks to clear.
Next time you’re in perth send me a pm, would be nice to have a little session :) Feel free to crash at my place if you want or my gf could drive you back to perth ;)
