Well before our current challenges, my pipeline ran dry due to masonry work in the cellar, now over the past 6-8 weeks I have brewed about 20 gallons. Being tired of missing the Oktoberfest season due to not thinking about it until Sept, I brewed a batch of Oktoberfest Lager (all grain kit from our host) that I just transferred to a keg yesterday.
Since I have no need to get this beer on tap for a while (and have ingredients for a blonde ale coming next week), I thought I would lager this Oktoberfest. I have never let a batch sit for any length of time before. Right now its in the chest freezer at about 38 deg f with the co2 on at about 10psi. If its going to sit for a few months does it matter one way or the other what the gas pressure is? Maybe its a waste to keep it anything over a small min pressure until I get closer to tapping it⦠?
Just curious what others do during the lager period.
Hope everyone is hanging in there.
