Lagering in a Corny Keg

[nmb550]

I am making my first lager...an Oktoberfest/Marzen. I am in primary right now with WLP830 German lager yeast. Going for 2 weeks at 50-52 degrees F. I am going to do a diacetyl rest for 2-3 days and lager for about 6-8 weeks. I wanted to keg and force carbonate in the secondary stage. Will this affect the lagering? Should I transfer to another carboy, lager, and then keg? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I routinely lager in the keg while it's carbing. No worries. I also find it useful to force transfer the beer to a second keg after the lagering period. Helps to keep the beer clear by getting it off all of the yeast and trub that settles out in the keg.
