Prepare a yeast starter 24 hours before pitching.
Mash in at 153° F. (Optional: after the saccharification rest, raise temperature for mash out by heating during vorlauf or use infusion step mash technique by adding 168° F water).
Conduct a 90 minute boil, following the additions as listed in the ingredients. Chill to 65° F, oxygenate the wort, and pitch the yeast. After active fermentation has started, slowly drop the temperature to 54° F over 24 hours. When just shy of terminal gravity, start raising the temeprature 2-4° F a day to reach 68° F diacetyl rest. Hold at 68° F for 48 hours. After this rest, drop the temperature to 55° F and rack beer into a secondary vessel. Proceed to drop the temperature to lagering temperatures and hold for 1-2 weeks.
After the beer has been resting at low temperatures for 1-2 weeks, it’s time to package!
