I'm embarrassed to admit that I may be pitching when the wort is to warm. Sometimes about 80 degrees. I'm just in a hurry to get thinks buttoned up. I heard a podcast where a guy said he cools a little below the temp he wants to give the yeast a cool start. So that got me thinking about how I go about it. What effect would this have on the finished beer? My last batch was a kolsch, 5 gallon, and I did the secondary in a keg in the serving frig. I think I used White Labs kolsch. My finished product was drinkable, but I've done better.
