Hi All,
New to home brewing here!
After trawling thru all the threads I couldnt find a definitative answer.
With my first brew i have used Morgans Golden Saaz Pilsener and decided to Lagerise it - adding primary fermenter into a fridge set at 12 degrees. After reading up on the yeast included in the pack i decided to purchase a further yeast (specifically for low temps ie Lager) as I feared the yeast found in the Morgans was more suited to higher temps and would lay dormant. I got home and added this yeast aswell.
So far so good - after a day airlock is bubbling away.
Now for my initial brew I dont intend to rack it and will bottle once fermentation is complete. My concern is once i have bottled it and added the carb drops will the original yeast that may have laid dormant due to the low temperatures explode the bottles once the temp rises ?
Question 2 - Once i have filled the bottles and added the carb drops should I place these in the fridge and if so at what temperature and for how long ? (Will this further the lager process )
Thanks In Advance
Scotto
