Notes

If you want a more authentic Kolsch, you can swap the yeast out for WY2565 Kolsch Yeast or WY1007 German Ale Yeast (my preference), and ferment at 60F for 2 weeks, followed by 2-4 weeks of cold conditioning in the fridge before kegging. You will want to make a yeast starter if you go with one of these. I make one of these every year and love the results--clean, crisp, and refreshing. I do not care much for the 2565 yeast strain though that is traditional.

The Lutra Kveik is a very clean yeast that can mimic some of the characteristics of a traditional German yeast strain. If you use Lutra, chill the wort down to 75F-85F and pitch the entire yeast bag. You will not need a starter for this yeast, nor temperature control--you can put the carboy in the house. Just keep it away from direct light and wrap it in a towel to prevent "skunking." Lutra does not require long cold conditioning periods.
