Got a question about bottling a lager after primary ferm and secondary. I have an Oktoberfest Lager that I plan on doing. This will be the first try with a lager. Let me know your thoughts:
Midwest Oktoberfest Kit
Wyeast 2633 yeast
Have a fridge set up for 50 degrees fermentation for 6 weeks.
After that racking to a better bottle and storing in the fridge and slowly pulling the temp down each day until I can get it about 36-40.
Letting it sit in the fridge there about 12 weeks then bottling. And letting it sit in the bottle about 4 weeks or so.
Two Questions:
is after i bottle it, do I need to store it at the same temp recommended for fermentation or is warmer temps better for bottling?
Are my times too long for fermentation or lagering?
