11/6/07 - Made a starter w/ 1 L water, 1 cup Light DME in a 1 gal jug, pitched yeast and placed the jug in the chest freezer @ 63 deg F. 11/7/07 - Made a 2 L, 2 cups light DME wort, cooled and added it to starter jug. 11/12/07 - Brew main wort, decant starter and pitch yeast at 65 deg. I added the Malt Extract late in the boil @ 10 mins. Ferment @ 55 deg F for 9 days. 11/18/07 - Fermentation activity was vigorous but seemed to die off very early, was worried about a stuck fermentation so I added 3 tabs of beano and aerated some more (shaking the carboy). 11/20/07 - Increase ferment temp to 63 deg for 5 days for diacetyl rest. Took a gravity reading, 1.012 so it appears fermentation is pretty much completed, despite the short fermentation period. 11/25/07 - Transfer to secondary, reduced temp to 33 for lagering. Will lager 6 weeks. 12/15/07 - Mixed 1/2 cup of hot water w/ 3/4 Tsp of unflavored Gelatin and added to secondary. 12/18/07 - Transfered to Keg, took a gravity reading and taste sample. The taste actually fooled me into thinking it was the Mexican lager I also had going, stronger yeast tints, but still a clean finish.
