Lagering outside

[manhattanksbrewer]

One question Im doing my first lager its fermented and lagered and i bottled it one week ago and ive read in some books to keep it at room temp until its ready to drink and others say one week at room temp then back to cold temp for longer , so what do you all do when lagering

First off, this is a 3 year old long dead thread.

If you keep it too cold in the bottle it won't carbonate and you might kill off the yeast before it does.

The beer will clear more quickly if you get it as cold as possible. Otherwise, there will be no difference in flavor regardless of the lagering.

[woops, what zac said, forgot about bottle carbonation. ]
