OG = 1.038 - 1.040 / FG = 1.010 to 1.014 152f Mash Place your fermenter in a warm area. (60-65?F) Approximately 1-3 days after adding the yeast you should start to notice a healthy fermentation taking place. A head of foam (called krausen) will have formed and CO2 should be bubbling out of the airlock. Lagers are fermented cool and stored for a lengthy time at an even cooler temperature. If you do not have control over the ferment time just try to keep it as cool as possible. At this point, move your fermenter to your cool fermentation area (48-60?F). It is possible to start your lager fermentation in a cool area if you have made a yeast starter. Most basement floors will do during colder months otherwise you'll need a refrigerator with temperature control. After 7-10 days of fermentation, allow the temperature to rise to room temperature for 24 hrs. This is called a diacetyl rest and will aid in a complete fermentation and diacetyl absorption. After the Diacetyl rest, transfer into a glass carboy and let sit for 3-12 weeks at your lagering temperature (36-45?F).
