I made two all grain lagers but need help with what to do next in the lagering process. I made the rocky racoon honey lager and a dopplebock.
Both have been in primary in my garage for a week at around 50-52 degrees (after pitching at 70 degrees for 24 hours to get things going).
I am not sure what to do next. Do I...
1) move inside for a diacetyly rest then transfer to secondary and store at 34-38
2) Store at 34-38 for a few days, move inside for a diacetyl rest and then rack to secondary at 34-38
3) Rack to secondary, diacetyl, 34-38
Could you help me out with this and possibly explain why I would do it in a certain order. i read the wiki and couldn't really figure it out.
Not sure what will get me the best results as this is my first trip into lager land. Thanks for any help you can give.
