Yeast temp Morgan’s lager

[Ron173]

Gday all

I’m trying a different lager here and I DO have full temp control, ie a chest freezer and an inkbird heat belt and inkbird controller, so I can control wherever I like.

Pitching always confuses me

Says ideal ferment 12 deg, ok, fine, but pitch over 20 deg

I don’t usually emulsify I normally just scatter.

I’ve read a gazillion conflicting info on this, so thought I’d ask the brains trust here

I’ll attach pic of packet.

Do I raise wort to say 21, pitch leave overnight then drop to 12?
If so drop how quickly?

Thanks for any advice

I would sprinkle on top at 20-23°C then start chilling immediately to 12°C. This will give the yeast plenty of time to hydrate before the temp gets too cool.

Thanks mate
That was my thinking and I followed your advice.
