Hey everyone,
Just brewed an Alt (Northern Brewer extract kit), and it's fermenting away at 60 deg. I plan to wait about two weeks, and then transfer to secondary (probably a keg), and lager.
What is the best procedure for lagering? Step the temp down a degree or two a day, until I hit my target temp, and leave it there for a few weeks? ...or do I just 'cold crash' it down to temp? And what would the ideal temp be?
Thanks!
