Hi there,
I have managed to get my hands on a nice temp controlled fridge and am going to try a lager.
I am cool with the 2 week primary fermentation @ about 12 deg c then d rest for 2 days at 16 , but not sure after that. My thought is to rack into secondary fermenter with a load of mittlefrau, then leave at 2-4 deg c for 6 weeks, then rerack, batch prime and bottle. Will there be enough yeast for secondary after that???? Will obviously nest another 6 wks to condition in the bottle etc. Would it be better to 'lager' in the bottle?
Any advice or tweaks on above plan would be brilliant. Many thanks.
Will
