Subject: my first lager, the story continues
|
I had posted last week that my gravity had fallen from 1.08 to 1.04 and
I was concerned it was stuck. My reading tonight shows 1.03 with 1.02
being the goal. I transferred to secondary and will continue watching it.
One question, from my reading it seems that the lagering stage takes
place in the carboy and not in the keg? I have secured a spot in a cold
room (35 degrees) for long term storage and in another week I think it
will be time to move it there. I just need to know which way to store
it, keg or carboy.
Thanks for all the help!
Dave

1.020 is high for a finishing gravity reading. If you mean 1.002 that will
be real low. In fact a starting gravity of 1.080 is pretty strong for a
lager. Nevertheless, it's your beer. It doesn't really matter where you
lager your beer, the end result is the same. Only thing to watch, is the
beer should de-gassed and at the correct temperature to get a useful reading
from the hydrometer.

I don't think it really matters.
