Recipe Notes
Before mashing in, treat water with Lactic Acid to bring PH down to 6.0 or slightly less. Dough in cold, mix well to hydrate malt. When completely hydrated and mixed, and PH is correct (5.2), start raising the temp to 122 degF and follow mash program: (I use a HERMS system so it's easy for me to do this)
122 degF for 10 minutes
148 degF for 35 minutes
156 degF for 25 minutes
168 degF for 10 minutes
90 minute boil.
Ferment @ 48 degF until done (3 weeks), then raise temp 12 degrees and hold for 4 days for a diacetyl rest, then rack to secondary and drop the temperature 2 degrees a day until dropped to 34 degF. Lager for 6 weeks then keg and carbonate to 2.6 vols of co2. Serve when fully carbonated. (I like mine served at around 55 degF)
Enjoy! (_)3
