Notes

Mash Temp:
Acid Rest 115F
Step 2: 148F

This beer is all about execution—yeast pitch rate, fermentation temperature, and water profile will play a large role. Try to follow the water profile of a yellow dry beer (under 6 SRM). As for fermentation temperature-you can either ferment this at 50 degrees for 2 weeks with a 3-4 day diacetyl rest or if you have the ability to use a spunding valve you can ferment at 60 degrees.

-If using a spunding valve, I ferment under 6 PSI and then raise pressure to also carbonate during the end of fermentation. Once fermentation is complete, lager at 34-35 degrees for 6-8 weeks.
