A local brewery is wanting to sample Lutra for their lite ale. They're wanting something that ferments a good bit quicker than their current yeast. I will be brewing a batch kolsch very soon. The grain is being ordered this weekend and I'm going to ferment this at 68F temp controlled this time to see if it is indeed clean. I can replicate their environment somewhat as they do not ferment under pressure. They filter so that may help removing the yeast/grape flavor as well. Here is the recipe I'll be using (will be subbing tettnang for spalt since Morebeer is out of the small packs). Also this will be stepped up from the freezer bank. Brewers friend says I should have somewhere around 400 Billion cells...Then again I don't have a microscope or way to really verify that so who knows lol Anywho here's the recipe
