Hi guys
Been reading heapsss of threads and how to's on the internet. Some say lager in primary, some say dont. Some say you can but it will make the beer 'bready'.
Basically I am making a pilsner at the moment and plan to lager it for at least a couple of weeks.
I want to know what you guys think is a good method? I would rather cut out a secondary if I can, I worry about oxidation and infection. So I am considering leaving the beer in primary and crash chilling once the fermentation and D-rest are complete. Leaving the crash chilled primary for a few days, then racking to a keg for lagering AND serving, without a shortened dip tube like suggested a few places.
Would this work well? or do i need to tie up 2 kegs lagering in 1 then transferring to another.
Thanks guys.
