Notes

Boil 75 minutes . Shut off the heat and add whirlfloc. Start adding super heated rocks from a hardwood fire to keep a boil going. Add the cooled rocks to primary fermenter. D rest @ about 10 days. (65 degrees for 3 days) cool back off to 52 degrees. Rack to secondary after 2 to 3 weeks primary and slowly lower temp to 38 degrees and lager for a month or more.
