Notes

Planning to make enough wort to pump into conical thru a wort chiller(which doesn't quite get the wort cool enough for pitching yeast) with chiller coil purged with co2 and have 24 liters to ferment.
when wort is transferred keep 2 psi co2 and cool to 58F, leave over night and dump trub. add yeast replace spundling air lock @ 3 to 5 psi. keep temp to the yeast fav zone. after primary fermentation over. dump some yeast and close spundle air lock to 10 psi to finish ferment and carbonate.
dump yeast after 3 day cold crash/ leave 3 more days and pressure transfer to keg. refrigerate keg with 10 psi and in 2 weeks transfer to serving / bottling keg.
