I am going to be brewing an Oktoberfest lager, and was wondering if it would be OK to just leave it in the primary until Oct (starting now)? After fermentation is complete at 50º, I planned to do a short diacetyl rest, add gelatin, then drop the temp in the lager fridge 5º/day down to 35º where I will leave until bottling.
Do I need to transfer to a secondary or not?
