This past weekend I brewed a kolsch and it is currently fermenting nicely with some US-05 that I had harvested from a yeast cake a few weeks back, because I was looking for a clean profile and because I had some ready to go. Right now it is sitting at about 62 degrees, and in a day or two I will let it warm up to room temperature to finish fermentation.
Everything I've read says that a month of pseudo-lagering is required for a kolsch. I am wondering if the US-05 will be able to do much at around 50 degrees, or would I get the best results by leaving this one at room temperature for a month?
