So iv racked it into another bin after a week. how much longer do i leave it like this please ?
I'd let it sit, as cold as you can get it (between 34-45) for like, 3 weeks at least. Then bottle it and store for at least 3 more weeks. Lager means to store.
Daz stick it in the garage and forget about it.
In Northants it was -7C the other night and my Munich Dunkel was fine. I wouldn't go near it for a month, 2 if you can wait that long? The longer you can lager for the clearer it will look, and cleaner it will taste.
Kingkeg is a big barrel, right? Never used one myself but if it is a dunno how you would keep enough pressure for a good lager - corny would be better.
I always bottle. The lager I bottled 10 days ago was reseeded with 3gms of dry nottingham yeast, and was kept in the warm since. I opened one last night and it was fantastic - never had a decent carbonation in 10 days before :-) Enjoy.
OK so i give up with the king keg thing as it will not hold presure. Iv bought some plastic bottles, caps and some coopers CO2 tabs. but am now reading that they work with the yeast but i thought that the yeast has died as it long finnished fermentation and has been racked twice since.
Can i just bottle with the tabs, shake and store for a few weeks or will i need to do something else please ? eg Do i need to add some more yeast ? confused:
Add a speck of yeast to each bottle. The lager I made at the start of this thread came out flat after bottling. I'm going to uncap each bottle and add a spec of yeast to get them going. I'm using S04 but any yeast should do as it won't add to the taste.

Bottled and drinking:American IPA, a little over-carbonated in the bottle. Not bad if you let it settle out
Bottled and waiting:All-grain American Lager (first all grain) - Still flat after 6 weeks.
Bottled and waiting:Irish Dry Stout. Didn't get the water from Dublin though
In primary:Stone Ruination clone, except I didn't hit the gravity. It is still good though.
Ya know, they're like rabbits, except they do it solo

What was your primary and secondary time/temp? I've read that enough lager yeast should stay in suspension to bottle carbonate after 2 months of fermentation and lagering.
