Fast Lager Method Source: http://brulosophy.com/methods/lager-method/

Yeast Starter = three steps to yield 451 billion cells (starting with 42 billion cells based on age of package)
Step 1 = 0.7 L, Step 2 = 1.0 L, Step 3 = 1.5 L

Ingredients:
Weyerman floor malted Pilsner malt

Starter:
- Use a two step starter (start a week before brew day) -- target ~ 416 billion cells
- Step 1: ~ 1 liter
- Step 2: Decant, then ~ 1.6 liters
- Decant before pitching

Mash:
- pH target is 5.3 at room temp (or 5.05 at mash temp)
- pH Adjustment Notes
- To derease pH by 0.1, add 0.8 ml of 88% lactic acid
- To increase pH by 0.1, add 0.5 grams of pickling lime

Boil Timer Settings:
nE=4, AD=10, T1=90, T2=20, T3=15, T4=5

Fermentation:
- Chill wort to 50 degrees
- Oxygenate (lots of oxygen -- at least 90 seconds)
- Ferment at 52 degrees until 50% attenuation (based on fast ferment FG) is reached (4-7 days)
- Remove temperature probe from thermowell and attach to small volume of liquid (to measure ambient air temp)
- Disconnect plug from cooling side of temperature controller
- Slowly raise air temp from 52 degrees to 67 degrees over 36 hours (5 degrees per 12 hours). See STC-1000+ settings below.
- Keep air temp at 68 degrees until fermentation is complete and the yeast clean up after themselves ( 4-10 days)

- Test for Diacetyl and acetaldehyde -- see https://www.winning-homebrew.com/diacetyl-test.html

- When FG is stable and no diacetyl or acetaldehyde is detected,
- Reattach temperature probe from controller into thermowell
- Attach CO2 tank and add 1-2 pounds of pressure
- Set up a separate thermometer to monitor temperature of the beer
- Slowly decrease temperature from 68 degrees to 32 degrees over 72 hours (0.5 degrees per hour), then see next step. See STC-1000+ settings below.
- When beer temp is below 50 degrees, add prepared gelatin fining
- 1 tsp gelatin in 1/2 cup water,
- Microwave it in short (7 second) bursts until it reached 145-150°F, stirring with the end of a thermometer between each burst.
- Let beer clarify for a few days, then package

STC-1000+ Settings for Fermentation Ramp Up:
SP0: 52°
dh0: 36 (36 hour free-rise/ramp-up)
SP1: 68°
dh1: 0

STC-1000+ Settings for Fermentation Ramp Down:
SP0: 68°
dh0: 72 (3 day ramp-down)
SP1: 32°
dh1: 0

Packaging:
Keg:
- Transfer beer to keg
- Attach CO2 and set to PSI needed to carbonate to 2.5 volumes of CO2 @ 32 degrees
- Let beer condition at 32 degrees for a couple weeks
- Tap the keg
Bottles:
- Sanitize bottles
- Add a coopers carb drop to each bottle
- Add beer and cap each bottle
- Put bottles in area of stable ambient temperature of around 70 degrees for a couple weeks (to carbonate the beer)
- Let beer condition at refrigerator temps (32-36 degrees) for another 1-2 weeks

15 min mash pH = 5.15
added 0.4g pickling lime
10 min mash pH = 5.28
after mach, iodine test = negative

Forced ferment finished at 1.014

Notes: 1272 is an excellent yeast for these - better (cleaner) than 1318
Imperial equivalent is A15 Independance

Green Tea was 15 standard bags added to keg for about 24 hours in the dry hop filter tube thing.

8oz of hops makes a nice light pale ale / 16oz makes a true fruity IPA

USE THE WHIRLFLOC! This batch is clear evidence that it cleans up the beer and doesn't affect haze

Varied the recipe a fair bit to have stuff I like (10/1/2020)

Not sure what impact the 50g of choc malt will have
2 Step protein rest mash schedule (my standard)

Notes: This has turned out really well with a nice malty/toasty flavour coming through from the Amber malt. It is well balance with some hop flavour and aroma but this is secondary to the malt. I think next time I may back of on the amber malt a bit and go for 150g instead of 300g but I had some I wanted to use up.

For my taste I may up the IBUs next time but that is because I like a really bitter beer. This is probably closer to the suggested style.

I used yeast cultured from Young's London Special Ale which is reportedly the same as Wyeast 1768. The slightly better than expected attenuation could have been because of the 20 minute rest at 62oC before raising the temp to 68oC. I then mashed out at 75oC.

It's not a million miles away from something like Old Speckled Hen, but with a bit more malt and less sweetness.

Very nice!

Notes: This is an excellent, easy drinking IPA that I have made 4 or 5 times now. This is a West Coast styled IPA using very little toasted malt, resulting in a very light coloured and mild tasting IPA without the sometimes distracting flavours that too much toast and caramel can add to IPAs. In my opinion, really good IPAs are not malty at all, allowing the true nature and flavour of the hops to shine through. Flame out addition of Galaxy Hops provides an exceptionally balanced flavour with notes of passionfruit, grapefruit, pineapple, and hibiscus. Give it a shot
