YEAST

We recommend you purchase one of the following fine Yeast below - NB: Yeast SOLD SEPARATELY!

Liquid | GigaYeast

• GY045 German Lager GigaYeast - 1 x Gold Pitch (make a starter)

Dry | W-34/70 Saflager Fermentis

• W-34/70 Saflager Fermentis - 2 x 11.5g Sachets

Method:

1. Fermentation: Undertake your primary lager fermentation at 10-12°C for 2 weeks. Take hydrometer or gravity readings and when you are within 4 standard points of gravity or 1 degrees plato from final gravity raise up slowly the temperature of the fermenter to 17 °C and do the first dry hop addition (simultaneously with your Diacetyl Rest until the beer attenuates fully). With healthy yeast, fermentation should be complete within 1-2 weeks, but do not rush it.
2. Double Dry Hop: Do the first dry hop addition (25g for 3 days) (simultaneously with your Diacetyl Rest until the beer attenuates fully). Immediately follow with your second dry hop addition (25g for another 3 days) maintaining temperature at 17 °C.
3. Cool slowly (1-2 °C per day) to lager temperature 2-4 °C and hold or lager for another 30 days at 2-4 °C.
4. Rack to a keg and force carbonate or rack to a bottling bucket, add priming sugar, and bottle. Target a carbonation level of 2.5 to 3 volumes.
