Notes

start at 56°F (13°C). Hold it there for one week after the first signs of fermentation, then let it free-rise to about 70°F (21°C). When fermentation is finished, cold crash (again, for clarity) and then package. Carbonate to an even two volumes of CO2 (if carbonation is too high, you could end up with a beer that’s too full in the mouth), and then store cold for at least six weeks.
