Notes

Mash with 4.5 gal. After boil ~3 gal. Top off up to 4 gal before pitch.

With no starter, pitch at ~70 for a few hours then drop to 55°F

Hold at 55 for 6 days, then raise it to 60°F and hold for three days for diacetyl rest.

Then lower the temperature to 34°F for 3-6 weeks (slowly lowering from 60->34 counts as part of this lagering time)
