Yeast:

  • 1 package White Labs WLP925 High Pressure Lager Yeast or 1 package White Labs WLP940 Mexican Lager Yeast

Fermentation:

  • Once primary fermentation is near conclusion, allow fermentation temperature to rise. Yeast should remain at an elevated temperature (as high as 65-68˚F) for three to five days to allow for a diacetyl rest.

  • To lager, drop temperature to 60˚F for one day, then drop an additional 2˚F each day thereafter until the temperature reaches 40˚F. Remain at 40˚F for one to two weeks, then drop to crashing temperature of 34˚F and hold for two to seven days. For additional clarity, fine or filter the beer then keg and continue to condition at 40˚F as long as desired.
