Notes:
Knockout a few degrees lower than your primary temperature, allow it to climb to 49F.
49F is the suggested primary temperature for first-use yeast. Subsequent generations can be fermented at a 47F primary temperature, as they are more battle-tested.
After 2 weeks in the primary, you can rack into a corny keg. Keep at 49F for another week and allow some pressure to build in the keg.
After week 3, make sure your beer passes a diacetyl test (warm up a small sample and smell/taste for butter). Once it passes diacetyl, slowly lower the beer, dropping 1F every other day until you reach 40F. Leave at 40F for a week.
Then slowly lower 1F per day to get to 33F. Rest here at least two weeks. After 2 weeks you may see diminished returns, but if you're patient, further resting can continue to improve the beer.
