The fermentation time, clean-up process, and cold crash period you described are reasonable for a Pilsner brewed with Gozdawa W3470 yeast, but the actual timing and duration may vary depending on the specific characteristics of your beer and your brewing process.
Typically, a Pilsner fermented with W3470 yeast at 12°C will take around 7-10 days to reach final gravity, although this can vary depending on factors such as the original gravity of the wort, yeast pitch rate, and fermentation temperature control. After fermentation is complete, the yeast may benefit from a period of conditioning at the same temperature for several days to a week. This allows the yeast to clean up any off-flavors and improve the overall flavor and aroma of the beer.
After conditioning, the beer can be cold crashed for several days to a week at a temperature of around 4°C. This will help to drop out any remaining yeast or sediment, and improve the clarity and appearance of the beer.
Again, the specific timing and duration of each stage may vary depending on the characteristics of your beer and your brewing process, so it’s important to monitor your beer closely and adjust your timing as needed. Additionally, it’s a good idea to follow best brewing practices, such as proper sanitation and yeast management, to help ensure that your beer turns out well.
