Thanks for the feedback Yooper. I thought it would be interesting (and more readily accepted by friends) to try a lager....but it sounds like it may not turn out as anticipated. I will be interested to try it, but keep my expectations grounded.

Thanks for the help. I thought it sounded like a short amount of time, but figured I would follow the directions. I will follow your advice. Thanks again.

I broke my hydrometer (ordered another). It was a kit and directions said 3-7 days in primary and transfer. I left it 8 days out of necessity. It was clean on top and no activity when I transferred to secondary.

After a fairly standard primary fermentation of a lager, I moved it to a secondary carboy about 36 hours ago and don't see any activity. I left it in the primary for 8 days and all activity had ceased. It smelled fantastic during the transfer, has great color and there is not much settling...
