I ordered a very great brew kit from AHS (Austin Homebrew Supply) named the chocolate bock.
I don't have a lager fridge but live in Chicago and it is getting warmer this time of year. ( I know wrong time of year, but I'm just now got into homebrewing and really love bocks!!!!). They gave me lager instructions or room temp instructions. I went with room temp instructions just to not mess up fermentation because I wasn't totally sure about basement/closet temps. They stated 1 week primary and 1 week secondary (????, don't think so)
However, everything else I have read is different.
My real question is:
Should I transfer out of primary to secondary after one week or should I wait longer? (I personally think 2 weeks for this type of brew, but not an expert and want advice)?
