When fermenting an all I know you leave the beer in the fermenter until it's done which usually happens within a week. I know you aren't supposed to leave beer in a plastic fermenter for more than 2 weeks because plastic can breath. The part I'm confused on is, when you're lagering are supposed to switch to glass after 2 weeks even if it isn't done? Are you supposed to start with glass and let it finish? or Do lagers still usually finish within 2 weeks anyway? When doing an Ale I usually go one week in a plastic primary then rack into a glass carboy for another 3 weeks. What's a good schedule for a lager?
Thanks,
