Ok, here is the deal. SWMBO and I were on a recent vacation in the Northeast and she found a Dopplebock that she really loved. I did to for that matter. So, I am facing my first lager attempt.
I have always racked to kegs and let my beers cool and condition so they were cleaner without filtering.
Question 1 is can I rack to keg after fg is met and lager that way? Under CO2 or not?
Question 2 is since I am not going to put all this work and time into a 5 gallon batch I was thinking about a 10 gallon and splitting it. 5 gallon for a regular dopplebock and the other 5 for an attempt at an iesbock. Anyone else do this or give me any kind of direction?
Any help is truly appreciated. Really missing that beer. lol
