Well, I am ready to attempt a lager. I just know how to do it. Here are my questions:
1.) Do you chill the wort to 70f and pitch just like an ale? and then put the bucket in the fridge?
2.) Can i harvest and wash the yeast like I do with my favorite ale yeasts? (wyeast american ale II, yummie)
3.) Do I store the washed yeast in the fridge even though the lager yeast is active at those temps?
4.) When you make a starter for lager yeast, do you place it in the fridge to start? or is room good enough to get it going?
I need a bock!!!!! Help!!!!!!
