Notes

Dry Yeast: Sprinkle the yeast around the top of the wort and stir well.
Cold Fermentation: Put the lid on the fermenter with the airlock installed (fill airlock 1/3 with water). After 12-36 hours this
mixture will begin to churn and produce CO2. Once you see signs of fermentation, slowly cool temperature of the wort to
50° - 55°F (about 1° per hour). If you do not see any activity after 24 hours, then remove the lid and vigorously stir the wort
with a sanitized spoon. After 10 days since the wort
started fermenting, the mixture will calm down and the excess proteins will settle at the bottom of the primary fermenter. At
this time, raise the temperature to 60° - 70°F for 2 days to improve flavor. Check the specific gravity to make sure it is within 3-
4 points of the FG and then carefully move the fermenter full of beer to a counter top. Be careful not to disturb the sediment
