Hi everyone.

Tomorrow i'm going to brew a all-grain Kölsch.

Recipe:
90% Pilsner malts
5% Vienna malts
5% Wheat malts
20 IBU H. Mittelfruh
Wyeast 2565 Kolsch. (Starter)

What i'm wondering about is:
Beersmith recommends a secondary fermentation when brewing Kölsch.
What do you do when you're brewing this beer?

 
I'd mash low (149-150F) and for 60-90 minutes since cooler mash temps take longer. 

Rolling boil to burn off the DMS and sulfur from the pils malt. 

Primary 21-28 days, Secondary/lager for 21-28 days until brilliantly clear.  Package.
