My first real lager

[ombre42]

I'm brewing the Oktoberfest lager kit from Midwest w/ Octoberfest yeast from Wyeast.
The directions say to lager @ 35-45 in secondary after 7-10 days ferm. & diacetyl rest.
Can I just rack to a keg after the diacetyl rest and throw it in the kegerator @ 40 degrees? I would purge and pressurize just enough to seal.
I don't have room anywhere to lager a carboy.

Sure you could do that. The hard part is not drinking it while it's lagering, though!

Thanks Yooper!
