I have a starter going for a lager. I've never done it before, so it's really an interesting project, and I welcome any suggestions. Here's the recipe:
5 lb Pils dme
1.25 lb Munich lme
1 oz Hallertau Mittelfruh 60 min
.4 oz same 15 min
.6 oz same 0 min
I'm using Saflager 34/70, about 400 billion cells (if the starter does what I think it should).
I'm going to pitch at about 55 F, then step it down to 48 F for two weeks. I'll rack and let it sit at 68 for a couple of days, then step it down to 34 and hold it for 60 days.
Wish me luck!
