Good day everyone. I've searched for an answer to this question but haven't found anything definitive yet. I have 10g of an octoberfest currently fermenting in two fermentors. It's at the proper temp, I plan on doing a diacetyl rest if necessary, then lagering at 35°F for 4-6 weeks. My question. When lagering, is it necessary to transfer to a secondary, or can I lager in the primary? I have the ability to transfer using a 5g glass carboy to hold the beer temporarily while I clean and sanitize the primary, but that just sounds like a pain in the ass and I'd rather not risk infection. Thoughts?
