Notes

*Medium Crystal (75°L) was a 2:1 ratio of Bairds/Great Western.

Fermentation Schedule: Ferment for 4-5 days at 18.5°C (+/- 0.5°C), making sure it’s at least 50% attenuated before the next step. Ramp the temperature up to 21.5°C (+/- 0.5°C) for another 7-9 days, making sure terminal gravity has been reached and no off-flavours are perceived. Cold-crash at 1.5°C (+/- 0.5°C) for 2-3 days (adding gelatin, if desired), then proceed to kegging.

Example:

Day 0: 18.5°C (18-19°C)
Day 4: 20.0°C (19.5-20.5°C)
Day 5: 21.5°C (21-22°C)
Day 14: 1.5°C (1-2°C AMBIENT)
Day 15: add gelatin
Day 17: keg beer
