I just racked a killer kolsch to the secondary today, but man, is that ever a messy yeast. It's my third batch using that yeast, but first ever AG kolsch.
My experience in the past is that it takes forever to clear up, but once it does, the wait is well, well worth it. Sure wish they could come up with a "new and improved" clean fermenting variety, though.
Now, the worst thing is I have to wait to drink it. The first time I made one I made the mistake of drinking some before it was ready. I got discouraged with it and "forgot" about the rest for a couple of months. When I re-discovered it, I found that I had Nectar of the Gods. Only problem was I only had about a half a case left!
