GrahamB8 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I have a beer thats in secondary lagering at 1\xb0c for a few weeks now and its ready for the bottle/keg. Im only bottling 1 litre so will use drops but Im concerned that there wont be enough yeast for carbonation. Whats your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH1525226084 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Hey Graham, I have the same concerns - will be transferring to secondary on the weekend - but the guys here have assured me there will be enough yeasties left to carbonate. I am taking their word for it, and if it doesn't work.... [ninja] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Nothing to worry about. There will be plenty around. I CC all the time and have never had any problems. However, obviously they still need to be stored somewhere a bit warmer to carbonate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 obviously they still need to be stored somewhere a bit warmer to carbonate. cough... or a bit more patience.. cough.. you imply that most will be kegged so I say prime to appropriate volumes, put it somewhere cool and forget about it for 4 months.. It'll carb. [rightful] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewingBenny Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I have just put my lager down into the primary, after a couple of weeks I plan on bottling, can I "lager them" in the bottle in a temp controlled freezer in the bottle. Once if that's o.k, do you bring them back up to a warmer temp to carbonate, I have read a heap of literature that suggests lagering in a carboy which I dont have.

The idea behind lagering is to drop almost everything out of suspension to get a crystal clear beer. The longer it's lagered, the more stuff (yeast mainly??) drops out. If you lager in the bottle any movement of the bottle will cause everything to come back into suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
