Want to do my first lager and have a question about bottling.
After I lager at 35-38 degrees for 10 weeks or so do I need to repitch some yeast before I bottle? If so, can I just pitch some dry yeast (US-05, or the dry Saflager yeast) or do I need to pitch the same type of yeast I used for fermentation? Also, do I need to bring the beer to room temp before bottling or can I do that straight out of the fridge?
Then once I am bottled do I condition the bottles at room temp like I have done with my ales?
