I've had my Killian's clone in the secondary at 33-35 degrees for about two weeks now. I'm at the point where I'd really like to use that secondary vessel for a batch that has been in primary for nearly two weeks. I know it'll probably be fine, but I'd like to get it off the trub within the next week.
Of course, I can always use another order for ingredients as an excuse to pick up another better bottle, but I thought that perhaps it would be all the same if I bottle the lager at say week 3 of cold storage and then get the bottles right back into the fridge. I suppose the added benefit is that the yeast may still be viable to carbonate without repitching but will it really carbonate at 33 degrees or does it require a temp rise?
Thoughts?
