Kolsch style

[dhelegda]

Has anyone had success with a Kolsch style beer that has not been lagered?

I brewed my first Kölsch today. I plan to ferment at high 50(s) low 60(s) for a cpl weeks and then put the keg in the fridge for a cpl weeks as my "lager".

It would just need quite a bit more time without the lager to drop bright. You could aid the process with gelatin.

I recently made a Kölsch style and it turned out just fine without lagering. +1 on the gelatin.

I use Irish moss, will that be acceptable?

It will help but I would still use the gelatin as well. Can pick it up at any grocery store for cheap.

What kind of gelatin do you recommend? And when do you put it in before the boil is over, after the boil but before chilling?
