Pitch your yeast at 65 degrees, when you see the first signs of fermentation bring down your ferementation to 45 degrees.
3) Typically about 10-14 days after lagering, you will bring back your fermentation temperature to 62-65 degrees. This is called a Diacetyl rest. You will keep your fermentation here for 2-3 days.
4) Rack your beer into a secondary fermenter, and start bringing down your fermentation 5 degrees a day until it gets to 45 degrees. Lager for about 6 weeks. Start your, “I’m Lagering Calender” once you have brought it down to 45 degrees. I suggest continuing to bring down your temperature all the way down to 35 degrees if you can, continue with the 5 degrees a day lowering.
