Notes

Use Potassium Metabisulfite at rate of 1/8 tsp per 10 gallons of water.

Second addition of lactic is for sparge water to lower pH to 5.4

Make vitality starter (1.040 wort at pitching temp and spin on stir plate for duration of brew day)

Pitch WLP036 at 62F and maintain throughout primary fermentation.
Transfer to secondary and lager at 50F for 2 to 3 weeks
