Hello!
I have a Kölsch fermentating as of today! I would like to brew a pilsner aswell, but I only have one refrigrirator and the Kölsch is fermenting at 18 °C (WLP029) so the temperature is not low enough for a pilsner.
Would be OK if I bottled my Kölsch in about two weeks, let it carbonate in room temperature, and whilst this is happening (roughly 3 weeks), use the refrigerator to ferment the pilsner, and then put the Kölsch back in once it has carbonated and lager it together with the pilsner? Would it affect the quality of the beer if it is bottled and carbonated before it is lagered?
