I'm in the process of converting a chest freezer into a kegerator, which I want to use to also brew lagers. Because of space issues, I don't have room for separate fermentation and lagering vessels. I was thinking if I could set my chest freezer for about 50 degrees for the fermentation, transfer to a carboy after the diacatyl rest, then drop the temp down to 40 degrees for the lagering phase of the beer. It would mean changing the serving temp of my beer, but I'd really like to make lagers and am willing to deal with it. Any suggestions?
