Iââ¬â¢m keen to understand if this is possible or if I am not giving it long enough.
We have a family event on the weekend of 18/19 March and there are a number of lager drinkers who I would like to brew a batch for. I boiled up the Greg Hughes recipe for European Lager this weekend and pitched a packet of Mangrove Jacks dried lager yeast yesterday at an OG of 1.048. My current plan is as follows:
Ferment at 12 deg for 10 days
Increase the temperature to 19 deg for 3 days
Transfer into secondary and reduce temp to 3 deg to lager for 2 weeks
Bottle and leave to carbonate at 12 deg for 2 weeks
Condition in cold garage for 2 weeks
So, my main question is whether those timings look like they might work, or should I tweak anything?
Cheers
Chris
