I intend to brew lager for the first time, have a dedicated fridge so possible at last, question is rather than a yeast starter as I intent to go with Saflager, can I just ferment at 18C/65F for a couple of days then drop the temp to 10C/50F for three weeks before upping the temp again for a few...

Has anyone else looked at the wealth of historic recipes and debate here http://barclayperkins.blogspot.com/ I love it Just bought Let's Brew by the sites author Ron Pattison and intend to brew a few Edwardian beers

I’ve always thought so but think I’m going to stop, what do you lot think?
