First kolsch, nowhere near my first ag brew ![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I'm ready to bottle and it's been sitting for weeks in 2ndary at 40-41*F.
Do I bottle as usual (my all ale batches ferment in the mid 60's to 70*F)? My usual protocol is to boil my cup of water/5oz priming sugar, cool down to beer temp, stir & bottle.
Should be kolsch be brought up 20-30*F to around 65* over a few days before bottling?
If not, I'll just cool my priming sugar solution down to about 40*, stir it into my beer, and bottle as usual. Bottles will be stored in a dark closet at 70* till carbed :rockin:
