Notes

This beer is all in the bottling. Use the recipe above and lager for 3 weeks (week 2 as a Diacytal rest). At end of week 3 do .5 liter starter of 1.050 wort for 2 packets champagne yeast. Add to secondary fermentor and transfer. At end of 2nd ferment add silica or another fining to help clear. Let ferment for another 2 weeks at 70 F. Transfer to bottle bucket with sugar for 3.7 volumes co2. bottle into champagne bottles and crown. "Riddle" the champagne bottles over the next month. On corking day prep a frozen slush of alchohol and saltwater. Dip necks of bottles in the solution to freeze the sediment now at the top of the bottle from the "riddle". Age for 4-8 months. Pop caps and sediment should fly out. Fill lost volume with a 1:1 simple sugar solution. Cork and cage. Wait about a month to mellow. Enjoy in champagne flute.
