I picked up a rauchbier kit from brewers best cuz I wanted to try something I've never had. Realized when I got home that its a lager recipe and my capabilities/equipment won't let me do that. The instructions say it can be done as an ale for fermenting.....
The way it says is to ferment is 2 weeks then rack to secondary and go another week or two (not worrying about cooling too much as if it were a lager) . Is that necessary? Or could I leave it in the primary for longer? Or just bottle after 2-3 weeks as a normal ale?
Thanks!
