Notes

Split batch - 5.5 gallons Kolsch ale yeast, 5.5 gallons Belgian (Wyeast 3655).

Kolsch - 2L starter + Clarity Ferm. This half gets the fridge. Start on the cool end for 4-5 days, bump up to finish out, then cold crash for a couple of weeks.

Belgian - 2L starter, but keep 500ml aside. Pitch at 65F, then allow to free-rise at cellar temp.

We will need Fermcap for this one before the boil.
