Ok, I done plenty of Ales in my life, but I just got a nice fancy deep freezer with a temp controller on it for doing fermentations. So I plan to make a late oktoberfest for my first lager. I just want someone to check over my intended fermentation plan to make sure its Ok.
SG - 1.056 Yeast - White labs WLP820 with 1 gallon starter
Here is my current plan of attack --
Cool wort to 65F and pitch yeast
Set temp control to 52F and let it go until SG is around 1.030
Step up to 65F in 3F to 4F increments each day
Keep at 65F for 3 days and step back down to 52F
Leave it at 52F for 2 to 3 weeks
Cold crash @ 35F and Keg
