This is my first time with a lager, so I want to make sure I got this right.
Recipe Type: Extract
Batch Size: 1 Gallon
Boil Volume: 1.14 Gallons
Original Gravity Estimate: 1.054
Final Gravity Estimate: 1.014
IBU: 23.4
Boiling Time (Minutes): 60
Color: 8.2
1.50 lbs Munich Malt LME
0.25 oz Hallertauer (3.0%) 60 min
0.25 oz Hallertauer (3.0%) 30 min
Saflager S-23 Yeast
1: Ferment in Primary at 52*F for 2-3 weeks and increase to 68-72* for 36 Hrs
2: Bottle with 1/10 cup of priming sugar and lager at 34* in bottle for 8 weeks.
3: Let sit at 68-72* to carbonate for 2-3 weeks
(Maybe switch steps 2 and 3)
Then it should be ok. I'm wonder if with this yeast strain, would the diacetyl rest be too early at 2 weeks or too late at 3 weeks? Should I wait longer or less time? My question is, would what I have set up above work or should I do something different?
