ONe of my kids broke my hydrometer, but I went for it anyway.
I brewed up a Vienna Lager, and it is fementing in my storage room in my basement which is 59 degrees. I used Wyeast Bavarian yeast, fwiw. Its been going very steadily, nice big krausen, things are mixing around quite a bit. I have a beer fridge in the garage that is at 38 degrees. I plan to lager there.
my questions.
1) Should I rack directly to keg, or keep in primary glass carboy. (i don't have a secondary carboy, and just one keg.) Or should I rack to bottling bucket, clean carboy, then put back in glass. (This way seems like a bad idea, just throwing it out there.)
2) How long should I keep in primary? I'd like to have this ready for my friend's bday in early June. (I brewed this past Sunday.)
3) Diactyl rest- at what temp? I'm reading 60 degrees, but that is so close to my primary temp.
Hoping I didn't eff things up. Thank you for your assistance!
