Hi all
I'm getting ready to pitch a lloydies kolsch and I decided to try the wyeast kolsch yeast
Anyway the advise given on this website wasnfo ferment at 15 but the wyeast packet says 18~22
anyway I thought I'd ask for feedback on this
Cheers in advance
Brendan

Check the exact terminology on your packet. Wyeast 2565 is 13-21C.

Thanks mate
I just rechecked the packet an it says to hold at 18-22 untill fermentation is strong, interestingly it doesn't offer an optimal range to work with on the packet so I did misunderstand.

You can go the 18 C Brendan but if you want to have less fruitiness and more of the crispiness, aim to keep it close to 15 C even right from the start.

Thanks PP that's the answer I was looking for, now my next question is I have 2 packets and my plan was to make a 2 litre starter with one pack for a 5 gallon batch, is this going to be enough given the lower ferment temp?

I'm usually a dried yeast guy so am not the best person to ask. Any time I have used a liquid yeast in an ale, it has usually come in a smack pack and I have been a lazy bastard and just pitched that. Off the top of my head, I can see absolutely no problems with your plan.
