Description
This Kolsch strain is warmer fermenting than Kolsch I (OYL-017), flocculates much better and clears more quickly, so it is a little easier to manage. It is a lager-like ale strain that’s lightly fruity, crisp and clean with a hint of sulfur that disappears with age to leave a clean ale. Accentuates hop flavors.

Brewed a 55% Rye beer with this and it worked extremely well. Nice clean character that combined well with Chinook/Amarillo. Fermented at 18 deg: got off to a very quick start and cleared down very nicely. Finished quite low/dry .
