Notes

Mash the pilsner, Munich, and aromatic malts at 148 to
152°F (64 to 67°C) for 60 minutes. Add the Weyermann
Carafa II and roasted barley to the mash just before
sparging.

Start the fermentation at 70°F (21°C), and once the initial fermentation starts, lower the temperature to the low 50s°F (~11°C). Ferment to final gravity at 52 to 54°F (11 to 12°C). Lager at 32 to 34°F (0 to 2°C) for 4 to 8 weeks.
