Rye Kolsch Brew Session

Brew Session Info

(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Only ended up with 4.5 gallons in the fermentor due to the loss related to the chill plate (which I hadn't accounted for). Fermentation took off quickly though and appeared to largely be complete within 4-5 days at 53 degrees. Brought the ferm chamber up to 65 degrees (2 degrees per day increase) after about a week for a diacetyl rest before transferring to a keg and crashing for a couple weeks of lagering.
