Alright, Ive got my kegs full of big beers and need some lighter stuff for summer. thinking about doing a double brew day of BIAB 3 gallon batches of Kolsch and an Alt beer (both styles Ive never done).
The recipes I have call for 2 week primaries at 60 and then a month lager period at 34-35. During the lager, is it a requirement that I pull the beer off the trub (therefore requiring a secondary)? The thing is I only have one 3 gallon Carboy and If I cant lager without a secondary Ill probably just brew one. I dont want to really tie up my ferm chamber for a month on one beer though.
