    During Lagering, does yeast continue to ferment?

    Thanks for the reply. Well, I'll see how it goes I have it at 36 degrees right now. I could always ramp it up a few degrees I imagine.

    That website is a great reference tool! Thanks so much.

    During Lagering, does yeast continue to ferment?

    That sort of brings up another question, at what temperature is lager yeast no longer viable for fermentation? I imagine this is strain dependent, but is there a bottom line temperature for all lager yeasts?

    Yeah, Yeah, it pours with no head and the mouthfeel is flat. I've poured off at least 4 pints now, so I don't think it's the headspace. But the top is fully carved. I've made porters and stouts before and this has never happened.

    Chipotle Porter with Cocao Nibs won't carb

    I force carbed at 30 PSI for 3 days, let it set and forget for a month at 12 PSI, it pours flat. I ramped up to 30 again for 3 days. It still poured flat. This weekend I popped the lid off of the keg and it looks hazy on top. Turns out that was carbonation. I dipped a shot glass in the top...
