Issue is that Kolschs Alt Cal C are "easier" to do and not as technically challenging.
As others have said it's your comp.

Hi all,

After much thought and consideration we have decided to remove the following from this competition ... 5B. Kölsch, 19B. California Common, 7B. Altbier.

The reason we are holding this competition is to challenge Irish brewers to brew award winning lagers.

We understand the challenges involved in producing a lager during the warmer summer months but hope that we get a lot of quality entries to the comp.

Apologies to all you Kolsch brewers.

Theres a lot on Brulosophy about brewing with saflager strains at ale temps. Could be worth a try for people who cannot hit lager fermentation temps.
