Kit O' Beer #2 - Canadian Blonde

[BrewTech]

Generally, it's a good idea to allow the temp to rise a degree or so at the end to get a beer to finish fermenting and to allow for a diacetyl rest (lagers should always be raised to ale temps for at least two days for this). After that, crash it as low as you can for at least three days (0C is optimal, but probably not realistic in your case). I used to just stick the fermenter is the garage fridge, about 4C... thankfully had enough space to move all the shelves up to make room - made a HUGE difference in the quality and clarity.
