Notes

Pitch a 3L starter from stir plate.

Pitch at, and set fermentation chamber to, 13.3C.
After two days, bump up to 15C.
After three more days, bump up to 20C.
After 10-14 days total, replace airlock with foil+elastic (to eliminate suck-back of liquid), crash to 3-4C for 2+ weeks. Replace airlock when down to lagering temp.

Note: could also use something in airlock that won't contaminate the beer if it gets sucked back in during the cold crash (vodka).
