Fast Lager Method Source: http://brulosophy.com/methods/lager-method/
Yeast Starter = three steps to yield 451 billion cells (starting with 42 billion cells based on age of package)
Step 1 = 0.7 L, Step 2 = 1.0 L, Step 3 = 1.5 L
Ingredients:
Weyerman floor malted Pilsner malt
Starter:
- Use a two step starter (start a week before brew day) -- target ~ 416 billion cells
- Step 1: ~ 1 liter
- Step 2: Decant, then ~ 1.6 liters
- Decant before pitching
Mash:
- pH target is 5.3 at room temp (or 5.05 at mash temp)
- pH Adjustment Notes
- To derease pH by 0.1, add 0.8 ml of 88% lactic acid
- To increase pH by 0.1, add 0.5 grams of pickling lime
Boil Timer Settings:
nE=4, AD=10, T1=90, T2=20, T3=15, T4=5
Fermentation:
- Chill wort to 50 degrees
- Oxygenate (lots of oxygen -- at least 90 seconds)
- Ferment at 52 degrees until 50% attenuation (based on fast ferment FG) is reached (4-7 days)
- Remove temperature probe from thermowell and attach to small volume of liquid (to measure ambient air temp)
- Disconnect plug from cooling side of temperature controller
- Slowly raise air temp from 52 degrees to 67 degrees over 36 hours (5 degrees per 12 hours). See STC-1000+ settings below.
- Keep air temp at 68 degrees until fermentation is complete and the yeast clean up after themselves ( 4-10 days)
- Test for Diacetyl and acetaldehyde -- see https://www.winning-homebrew.com/diacetyl-test.html
- When FG is stable and no diacetyl or acetaldehyde is detected,
- Reattach temperature probe from controller into thermowell
- Attach CO2 tank and add 1-2 pounds of pressure
- Set up a separate thermometer to monitor temperature of the beer
- Slowly decrease temperature from 68 degrees to 32 degrees over 72 hours (0.5 degrees per hour), then see next step. See STC-1000+ settings below.
- When beer temp is below 50 degrees, add prepared gelatin fining
- 1 tsp gelatin in 1/2 cup water,
- Microwave it in short (7 second) bursts until it reached 145-150°F, stirring with the end of a thermometer between each burst.
- Let beer clarify for a few days, then package
STC-1000+ Settings for Fermentation Ramp Up:
SP0: 52°
dh0: 36 (36 hour free-rise/ramp-up)
SP1: 68°
dh1: 0
STC-1000+ Settings for Fermentation Ramp Down:
SP0: 68°
dh0: 72 (3 day ramp-down)
SP1: 32°
dh1: 0
Packaging:
Keg:
- Transfer beer to keg
- Attach CO2 and set to PSI needed to carbonate to 2.5 volumes of CO2 @ 32 degrees
- Let beer condition at 32 degrees for a couple weeks
- Tap the keg
Bottles:
- Sanitize bottles
- Add a coopers carb drop to each bottle
- Add beer and cap each bottle
- Put bottles in area of stable ambient temperature of around 70 degrees for a couple weeks (to carbonate the beer)
- Let beer condition at refrigerator temps (32-36 degrees) for another 1-2 weeks
15 min mash pH = 5.15
added 0.4g pickling lime
10 min mash pH = 5.28
after mach, iodine test = negative

Notes: Added Irish Moss at 15m.
Thermometer broke during wort chilling. Yeast wasn't hydrated and pitched 2.5 hours after boil. Didnt know exact temperature - probably 19-22 C.
Active fermentation 12-24 hours after pitching!
Dry hop 2.5 oz. of Cascade whole leaf hops for 8 days.
3/4 cup of corn sugar with 2 cups boiling water. Bottled on March 10, 2014. I guess the whole hope leafs absorbed a lot of the beer because I only had enough for 30 bottles, not the 40-46 I had planned for. Might not dry hop again if the aroma isn't worth it. Will find out during tasting. :)
First taste on March 23: tastes amazing, blew my expectations away! Surprisingly similar to Muskoka Mad Tom. They have the same specs though. The dry hopping of cascade really came through on the nose. Very fruity and citrusy nose. A very sweet and malty taste. Good carbonation. Maybe I am biased...
Side-by-side comparison with Mad Tom: Colour: MT is a lot lighter and clearer. Mine is relatively hazy. Head retention and size is pretty similar for both. Smell: MT has a more pungent hoppy nose. Mine is slightly more fruity. Taste: MT definitely has more punch to it - sharp hop taste. Mine is sweeter and laid-back. MT had distinct citrus notes. Grapefruit. Mine tastes more of darker fruits. Mouthfeel: MT is crisp with greater carbonation. Mine is smooth with delicate/light carbonation. Overall, it's hard to pick a winner in my biased opinion. I think MT nudges mine slightly. Think of slight changes to the recipe next time. Maybe not so dark colour with greater fruit emphasis on the nose and in the mouth.
