Notes

Caraffa should be caraffa special..in coffee grinder, put it in for whole mash time

CRASH cool for DMS. aerate when cooled

Pitch at 48, ferment at 50 for 5 days, then bump 2 degree per day until 60 for 2 days (diacytl rest), lager/carbonate, decrease 2 degrees per day down to refrigeration temps so you don't stress yeast..will probably start peak at 8 weeks old

Don't raise temp if there is any sulfur or smell of off flavors

Can use any German lager yeast.
