I have several AG ales under my belt now...at a good friends behest, I am looking at doing a lager.
Now, I have done my homework and have done all the reading I can do...with that, I want to put it to you more experienced brewers :rockin: before making that final leap
What do I reallyy need to know about lagering? I know there is the difference with the yeast strains (ales vs lagers), longer time fermenting and that there needs to be a lower temp.
I am using a refridgerator on a temp controller to keep things steady. Do I need to primary then rack to a secondary?
What pitfalls are there?
Thanks everyone...all the help on here has made me a better brewer, but I really have a LONG ways to go...
