My kolsch is on day ten of ferment. I have just checked the gravity and nailed it. It tastes amazing for a young beer; still a slight nose of sulfer due to the White Labs WLP 029 kolsch yeast. I'm impressed so far. My recipe calls for conditioning at 70 degrees, but I know from alt brewing experience that the WLP 029 conditions great at 40 to 50 degrees due to its lager-like qualities. I am going ahead and crash cooling it now to 40 degrees and then transferring it to a keg to condition. My only concern is my conditioning temp. Should I stick with my gut feeling and leave it at 40 degrees for a couple of weeks and then ramp it to 50 to finish out?
