Hi guys
I have a schwarzbier that has been fermenting in a chest freezer @ 10c for the last 3 weeks down to 1018 from 1048 . I thought I would put it straight into a keg for secondary/lagering.
Can anyone tell me the process from here.
I assume it would need 4-6 weeks lagering at 4c ish
do i need to raise the temp for awhile (what to, how long for, in primary or keg???) before i drop it down to lagering temp?
When do i force carbonate? at kegging time or the end of lagering
anything ive overlooked
