Notes

I bought a sack of Best Malz Red X and I am adding it to every amber colored beer I brew. Subbing out Munich with Red X in this recipe.

Going to pitch two packs of rehydrated Saflager W-34/70 in each carboy at 48F. Set my freezer for 50F and let ferment for two days. Then I will begin to raise the temp for the next week to accelerate the lager fermentation.

After primary fermentation is complete, I will lower the temps to freezing over a few days. I will fine with gelatin and keg.
