Specialty
  1. ~1 tsp of Calcium Carbonate (chalk) to the mash (not to the sparge water)

  2. Boil: Bring your wort to a boil and start your timer at 90 minutes.

  4. Boil: At 10 minutes, add 0.5 oz. Hallertau hops.

  6. Fermentation: Primary Fermentation: 11 days @ 48F
  7. Fermentation: Secondary Fermentation: 30 days @ 48F

Recipe Notes

The short primary fermentation time is only because I rack it to a corny before it's done and then let it naturally carbonate during the next month. Then to the cold conditioning phase which lasts...as long as you can stand it! At least a month though. Any good lager fermentation schedule should be fine just give it more time conditioning than a typical low-gravity lager.
