mmmm. I just wonder what the best result is. As thats my aim. I guess for lagers you have to rack anyway if you are going to leave it in the fermenter for weeks don't ya?
When I make a lager I like it to be clear, here is my method for getting a crystal clear lager.It is a long drawn out process but when you try the beer you will be very suprised at how clear it is and how good it tastes.
- Brew for 2 weeks @ ~10C
- Rack and add finings for 2 weeks @ ~12C
- Rest for 2 days @ ~16-18C
- Cold Condition for as long as you can (2-3 months is good) @ ~2C

Won't your yeast totally be non existent for carbonation after that long?

I used to use finings until I heard that some finings are made from shellfish. ......
