Grains treated with 2% of 25 ppm (SMB)Sodium Metabisulfite (aq)
Add 1.78 grams SMB to mash water after pre-boil. (will add 43 ppm sulfate and 12 ppm sodium), salts adjusted to accommodate
Diacetyl rest at 75 % attenuation, 60 F for 2 days or until no change in specific gravity for 2 days.
Cool to 38 F over 2 days, rest additional 2 days, then closed transfer to keg, lager for 14-30 days at 35 F.
