So it's pretty cold here in Michigan and I don't have any type of temperature controlled fermentation chamber so I want to brew something with a low temperature yeast. The two strains I've found are Wyeast 1007 (German Ale) and 2565(Kolsch) both have a low fermentation point of 55-56 degrees which is what my basement stays at this time of year.
I've been wanted to do a pineapple wheat (came across this recipe http://forum.northernbrewer.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=15059 ) but now am thinking of doing the same thing but with Northern Brewers Honey Kolsch kit.
The regular Kolsch kit calls for 2565 so im thinking I can use the same for the honey kit.
Any thoughts? Also, I want to be able to keep it till the summer months. It should be fine aging in the bottles till July or August, right?
Thanks!
