I just ordered an Alt kit from AHS (extract and specialty grain). It comes with ale yeast, but I ordered a pack of lager yeast, too.
What I am thinking of doing is to use the ale yeast at primary, at about 68*, for a couple of weeks.
Then, transfer to secondary with the lager yeast, at about 50* for a couple of weeks, then into the kegerator for a couple of weeks at 38*.
At that point, it will go into the keg, either to drink, or more lagering.
I wonder if I should add the priming sugar (I force carb) to the secondary, to give the lager yeast something to munch on?
