Notes

Pitch Yeast 50 - 55F

After 4 to 7 days - SP = 1.060, raise temp 5F every 24 hours until temp reaches 65-68F

Hold temp 4 to 10 days to FG 1.011

Crash for 2 days

Carbonate 4 to 7 days at 2.6X

Lager in bottle a minimum of 2 weeks

+++++++++++++++++++++
I changed original recipe to .75 ounces of tettnanger @ 10 min instead of .25 ounces. And I changed recipe to .5 ounces of Saaz @ 10 min instead of .25

Recipe was posted at 75% efficiency --- I hit 73% -- not bad but room for improvement.
