I've done a lot of reading about M54, and I've decided to give it a shot. Seems like some people have had consistent success with it, while others have not.
I'm doing a 10-liter batch of a Helles Export.
estimated OG: 1.052
targeted FG: 1.012
50/50 Maris Otter/Pilsner
mash temp: 63C, 145F
hops: Tettnanger at FWH, 30min, 5min
ambient temp: 16C, 61F
fermenter: HDPE tank
I've read that lag times can be long for M54. Should I rehydrate? Chill the wort overnight to below the usual fermentation temp? Make a starter even?
Any other thoughts?
Thanks.
