Notes

Use "Brulosophy lager method".
50° until 50% attenuated. Then, remove the probe from the side of the fermenter so it measures ambient temp in the chamber and start bumping the regulator up 5°F every 12 hours until it reaches 65°.

Allow the beer to remain at this temp until fermentation is complete and the yeast have cleaned-up after themselves, which can take anywhere from 4 to 10 days.

When FG is stable and no diacetyl or acetaldehyde is detected in the beer, begin ramping the temp down in 5°-8°F increments every 12 hours or so.

At 50, add gelatin. When it reaches 32°F (-1°-0°C), allow the beer to remain at this temp for 1 day minimum, during which it will drop clear.

Keg and gas.
