Notes

This recipe is based on the article "Make Your Best Baltic Porter"
by Josh Weikert (https://beerandbrewing.com/make-your-best-baltic-porter/) in the Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine, June 5, 2016.

If you can't get Fawcett Crystal 65, then substitute with an equal amount of United Kingdom - Crystal 60L or Briess Caramel 40L. (As per the article, we're looking for toffee flavor.)

Ferment starting at 48°F. Once you see activity in the air lock (about 36 hours), increase by 1°F per day for 10 days. On day 12, or when you're convinced that primary fermentation is complete, set the temperature to 60°F for an additional 2 weeks.

Lager at least 2 months before drinking.
