Ok so I am brewing my first batch.
Pilsner Urquell clone
I let it ferment in the primary for 10 days and then it stopped.
I transferred to secondary and it fermented for about 30 minutes.
- transferred to my basement were it is about 55 degrees and the fermentation stopped.
Here is where the confusion sets in. I have seen that the secondary is for clarity but in the clone brew book states to " add beer to secondary fermentor, add 1/2 oz saaz and left ferment.
when fermentation stops add sugar and bottle."
Does it still need to ferment?
Is the secondary only for clarity in this one?
I have also ready that the lager's need to lager, what does that mean?
Sorry for the confusion.
