Notes
Did a decoction mash with the Bohemian grains first, and did not add the speciality dark malts until the protein rest.
Started fermentation at 53F, used three packages of WLP802 (Czech Budejovice Lager) yeast and a big yeast starter.
Fermentation schedule:
3/31/18 - primary fermentation start at 53F
Ferment for 15 days, then begin diacetyl rest for four days at 63F
Start diacetyl rest
4/15/18 - temp raise to 63F
Rest at 63F until 4/19/18, then begin lagering, lowering temperature 5 degrees per day until close to freezing
4/20/18 - drop temp to 58F
4/21/18 - drop temp to 53F
4/22/18 - drop temp to 48F
4/23/18 - drop temp to 43F
4/24/18 - drop temp to 38F
4/25/18 - drop temp to 34F
Lager at 34F for at least three months, ready to drink no sooner than the end of July
