Every time I open my kezzer i think something died in it.... how long with this smell last! ugh

Forever...get some baking soda and Rid-X...

 

[eriktlupus]

remember when your fermenting inside a keezer/fridge the offgases have nowhere to go and remain inside the container at full strength. as HB99 stated the best way is baking soda for the smell and rid-x for the moisture from the fermentation.

baking soda,lemon juice and warm water works wonders

I use a piece of broken racking cane to keep the top of the door open a bit.

how long do i need to leave it cold? till its done fermenting? or till im ready to keg it?

 

[Malticulous]

Your going to need to leave it in there for at least a month after fermentation stops, longer for higher gravities.

You could just use a keg for secondary.

 

[claphamsa]

not a terrible idea

you dont NEED an airlock for the secondary....

 

[eelpout]

not a terrible idea

you dont NEED an airlock for the secondary....

do you need to give the keg a blast of co2 while doing this?
I, for right now dont have my co2 tank, but was planning on trying to lager in my cornie because my carboy wont fit in the fridge, but the cornie will.
