I’m in!

Great to hear it worked out for you. I'm still trying to crak the NHC with this one. Last year was the closest by far.

Marzen, I've won 3 more golds as a Marzen since the switch.

I'm in. USA

I transfer from Primary to another Carboy (5Gal) and it goes in my Upright Keezer for the bulk of the lagering time. I will usually then transfer to a keg and let it sit another week or so before I carbonate it. Timing really depends on wether I did it erly in the year or like this year waited...
