Notes

Alt yeasts can be aggressive, be sure you leave plenty of headspace in your fermentor for the rising head of krauesen. Fermentation should be low and thorough. Shoot for a temperature range between 55° and 62°F and fermentation should be finished within 3 to 6 days. The fermentation should leave a clean beer with little residual sweetness.

After fermentation lager your beer for 4 to 8 weeks at around 40°F this will mellow the hop profile and smooth out any rough edges. It will also help with beer clarity. If you happened to ferment at a higher temperature lagering can help reduce some of the fruity esters inevitably produced.
