Notes

FERMENTATION STEPS

Pitch @ 20 deg c / 68 deg f and hold for 7 days - allow the temperature to raise if the yeast wishes to.
Raise 1 deg c each day/ 34 deg f from day 8 until you reach 27 deg c / 80 deg f.
Leave in primary vessel for a minimum of 14 days, 21 days being optimal.
Once FG is reached then transfer to a secondary carboy and condition for at least eight months before bottling. A years worth of conditioning in bulk will be optimal before bottling.
