My first partial mash was a kolsch, which is also my first kolsch.
I used wyeast 2565 kolsch 'activator'. everything went well in primary, though I've never seen yeast retain a krausen 'skin' like this did but I'm told that's normal.
wyeast says this is a low flocculation yeast culture...but how clear or cloudy is kolsch normally?
I have it in secondary, and planned to bottle this batch rather than kegging, so I don't want a ton of sediment in the bottles (beyond the normal priming sugar sediment, if i can help it).
Should I give it the normal 2 week secondary, then prime and bottle? or go longer? or go shorter?
this was my most complex beer (partial mash, 3 kinds of hops, liquid yeast) so I want to do it as proper as I can.
