3.Prepare a 2-liter yeast starter a week ahead to yield about 370 billion cells. Ferment the starter to completion and refrigerate at least 48 hours before brewing.
4.Pitch prepared yeast into 46F wort.
5.Let the temperature rise to 50F and ferment until the specific gravity reaches 1.020 (7–10 days).
6.Warm to 60F for a diacetyl rest and hold until the final gravity is reached.
7.Rack to secondary, lower the temperature by 3F per day to 38F, and lager for at least 21 additional days.
