Notes

Can use altbier yeast (WLP 036) also, but Kölsch (Wyeast 2565 or WLP029) is more attenuative (or also a Belgian Abbey strain, or WLP 810 SF Lager). Could also add some oak cubes for a wood-aged version. Lager for 1-2 months.

No subcategory for this historical style, so I just entered under Düsseldorf Altbier, since this is a similar (but bigger and more complex - smoke and maybe slight sour) beer from Düsseldorf.
