Notes

Lowering mash temperature will increase the fermentability of the wort.

Good fermentation temperature control produces the right kind of fruit esters for this style.
Pitch yeast at lower temp (18C) and let the temperature rise slowly through the course of a week to 22C to ensure good attenuation and a dry-enough finish.

Carbonate to 3 - 4 volumes of co2

Lager for seven weeks at 12C
