- Very crisp and kolschy. Awesome lawn mower beer
Hey all! I found exactly where Omega Lutra belongs and it’s in a kolsch! Key notes here are to use 4.4 grams yeast nutrient per 5.5 gallons wort, ferment at 68F, and give this a good 7-10 days in primary for the yeast to settle out. If this is rushed it will have a grape concentrate flavor from the yeast. Also this needs to be filtered or fined with gelatin. The yeast must settle out or it will be a touch on the fruity side. This was fined with gelatin 4 days ago and has been in the kegerator for right at 7 days total. All malts are Bestmalz and I used the Pilsen water profile from Bruin water. The water is reverse osmosis (built up to the Pilsen profile in Bruin water) and I threw in whirlfloc/yeast nutrient at 10 min. This is extremely crisp and very enjoyable!
Here’s the recipe! Enjoy!
