I'm brewing my first kolsch tonight - an extract kit from Midwest. I built a starter last night, so it will have been prepared 24 hours prior to pitching. This is my normal procedure and is resulting in very short lag times and active fermentations.
Questions - do I need to ferment at cooler temps? My basement is in the mid 60's right now, but upstairs is 75+. I was leaning towards the basement on a table.
- I plan to let it sit in the primary for 1 week, and then secondary for 4-5 weeks. Then keg. Does that sound alright?
Any other tips for this style of beer?
