Notes
  • Hook up tank to Glycol and pre-chill it before filling with the wort.

  • We lose about 7gal per rack. So we will lose about 15gal in racking alone.

  • Ferment in Primary at 52F until done (7-14 days). (Ideally raise to 58F for 1-3days for diacetyl rest after primary and before racking).

  • Rack into secondary and then drop 2-4F per day to get it down to 32-33F. Then lager it at this temp for 2-12 weeks. Longer the better. So taste it after 4 weeks. Then after 6 weeks, and take it as long as we feel is comfortable.
