Notes

Chill the wort to 50°F
Ferment at 50°F (10°C) for 5–7 days. Then let fermentation
free rise to 58°F (14°C) and hold for 7 days. Take a gravity
sample to confirm full attenuation of the yeast. Perform
a forced diacetyl test; if the test passes, begin decreasing
the temperature 2–4°F per day until beer reaches 35–37°F
(2–3°C). Transfer the beer. If kegging, add gelatin and
carbonate to 2.6 volumes CO2.
