I just got an extra fridge so I will finally be able to regulate temperature. As indicated by the title, this will be my first stab at a lager but I know that I will need to make a massive starter at fermentation temperatures and aerate like a madman. Any comments and suggestions on the recipe or lagering process will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Pre-Boil Gravity: 1.011
Original Gravity: 1.082
Final Gravity: 1.020
ABV: 8.4%
IBU: 25
Color: 24 SRM

[Steep @ 140 F for 40 min]

1.00 lb CaraMunich III (8.1%)
0.75 lb Caramunich II (6.1%)
0.55 lb CaraRed (4.5%)
0.40 lb Carafa II (3.6%)

6.60 lb Munich LME (53.4%)
3.00 lb Pilsen DME (24.3%)

1.00 oz Northern Brewer (8.7%) @ 60 min

I will add yeast nutrients, pitch a 6 L starter of WY2206 yeast and ferment at not more than 50 F.
