But if you want a K then I suggest considering Lally K Dry Yeast and going at around 16-17 to begin with.... the Yeasty Bois have a profound influence... and the warmer the gig the more funky things get. As for the Hops which look great - you would have used Hallertau Mit plenty before - and these two guys are noooooooot that much different to HT Mit in the big scheme of things Hop World but hey all the same they are nice hops fer sher. It's funny but I woulda added the Perle at the end as it I sorta think can add a bit of a spicy earthy note... but maybe I am dreaming there too... Should be a great AG Brew 3! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good points IP & appreciated, problem is I have just given up my brew fridge to use as a keg fridge so this time around I probably will have to go with the US-05 as I will be brewing at ambient & I can pretty much do it in my brew room around 18c. I do understand what you mean but this is one of Country Brewers clones. I f I get a decent beer with the right volumes I wll be happy for this time around.

I am glad to hear that RD, I had other choices, you would have seen them in CB shops, the guy that runs this is a client of mine so I like to promote reciprocal business so I visit his franchise now & again, my first AG brew was from there, an American Pale Ale & it's awesome, so I am looking forward to something different.

Brew day will probably be Monday so I feel more confident with my newfound knowledge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Hey @Classic Brewing Co, like @Itinerant Peasant, I strongly suggest you use Lallemand's Kolsch style yeast for your brew. It will be fine around 18°C. It will create a different flavour to the US-05. I do not think Lallemand's Kolsch is overly funky, just a bit different to a neutral yeast like US-05. At the end of the day the choice is yours and getting more yeast before Monday might be a bit tricky. If you end up using the US-05, you will still make a lovely beer, just do not call it a Kolsch. It is the yeast that makes it a Kolsch, none of the other ingredients "make" it a Kolsch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Shamus, Thanks for that, if you & IP recommend that yeast, that is more than good enough for me, advice coming from 2 of the big gun brewer's on this forum has convinced me. I will get some on Monday, the brew can wait an extra day. I don't know why the wouldn't include that in the pack in the first place. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been in the fridge for 3 weeks and will get kegged today and then go into cold storage for 4 weeks. Should be good when I get back. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perle is not overly great either. You could just use PoR if you have some mate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself am not thinking that PoR would fit in with a K... but yeah I guess if we are not brewing a K cos its US05 then maybe making it a bit more interesting PoR might be cool too hey... In general tho am thinking Perle is fine and @Classic Brewing Co Phil will end up with a nice AG beer whatever he does in the Ferment process.... But at the end of the WWGGAAFF just brew on up and something good will result if you are using qual ingredients and good practices ; ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
