Help on lagering!

[Brew Haus]

Ok heres another question for those of you lagering guru's. Has anyone gone thru the whole process of brewing a lager only using one fermenting vessel? Not racking and leaving the beer on the yeast cake?

I just brewed my first lager and have a s/s conical and planned using the same vessel throughout, dumping when necessary. Any reason I shouldn't?

Nope, that's exactly what conicals are for!

Because you'll tie up the conical for the whole lagering period (months possibly). You could use it for a lot of ales in that time!

My lager. I tasted it today and it tasted all right. Not good but hey its a light lager so what do you expect. The pictures dont do the clarity justice. I took the first two about two days into fermentation and the last one i took yesterday. It is the clearest i think ive ever brewed. Im really proud of both beers i have brewing right now.
