OK so I did some searches, and I think I've got it down, but looking for some short-answer checks of my logic. I'm about to embark on my first lager. The process as I understand is as follows.
Create a normal starter - larger is better
Pitch at ~50 degrees
Primary ferment 2-3 weeks at 48-52 degrees
Rack off of yeast to secondary
drop temperature of secondary slowly down to ~38 degrees (over the course of a day or two?)
Lager for 6-weeks to 6-months depending on style, etc.
Sound about right?
