Step 3: Fermentation and Maturation
Cool down the wort to 12°C and pitch the yeast.
Ferment at 12°C for 2 days then rise to 14°C. Once the fermentation is done (FG reached and off-flavors removed – about 7 days), drop the temperature to 8°C and rest for 1 day, and then harvest the yeast. Drop the temperature to 2°C and rest for 10 days.
