When I lager my lager

[kingoslo]

Hello my friends,

When I rack to secondary to lager for a few weeks, do I leave the yeast behind in the primary, or transfer that too to the secondary wessel?

Thanks,
Marius

No, you rack the beer off the precipitated yeast.

Yup, you want to leave the yeast cake behind in the primary fermenting vessel to prevent off-flavors and possible autolysis.

Leave the yeast behind and wash it for future batches.
