I am following this recipe: POB's Lager
Normally I leave my batch in one bucket the entire time, but as this is my first lager, I want to be certain I am not misunderstanding anything. IWhen the directions call for a secondary ferment (misnomer, I know) which is the "lagering," does it need to be on top of the yeast cake, or does it need to be moved to basically the bottling bucket and then spend the remainder of its time in there?
