Notes

We will split the batch into two 5 gallons for fermentation. Jay will be using a German Lager Yeast and I will be using the S-23 so we can compare.

Ferment at 50 degree for 20 days, then Diacetyl rest at 60 degree for 3 days, than lager at 35 degree for 13 days.

Jay will bottle and Greg will keg and bottle.

Mash water: 10 gallons into fermenter + 2 gal boil + 1 gal trub + 2.25 gal for grain absorb (.075 x 30 lbs).
Total = 15.25 gal
