Notes

Re-hydrate yeast. Cool wort to 65 degrees and pitch yeast. After fermentation starts, slowly lower primary fermentation temp down to 53 degrees and leave it there for 11 days.

On day 11 raise fermentation temperature to 62 degrees and leave it there for 3 days for the diacetyl rest.

On day 14, after the diacetyl rest, slowly lower temps down to 37 degrees. This temperature change should take a few days to complete doing a few degree change at a time.
