Notes

Use White Labs WLP940 (Mexican Lager) or Wyeast 2007 (Pilsen Lager) or SafLager S-189 yeast.

Chill the wort to 52 °F (11 °C). The aim is to have 5.25 gallons (20 L) of wort in your fermenter. Aerate with pure oxygen or filtered air and pitch yeast.

Ferment at 54 °F (12 °C) for 7 days, then increase temperature to 62 °F (17 °C) for three additional days. When no sign of fermentation is noticeable, drop temperature to 45 °F (7 °C) over the course of 5 days. Hold 3 days. Rack onto the dry hops, then wait for 3 days.
