I've decided to try my hand at lagers after several years of only making ales. and I'm gathering info. From what I gather, I ferment at 50ish degrees for a couple of weeks, bring up to room temperature for a few days, then bring it down to the 30s for a month or so to lager. I have a couple of questions regarding this.
1. What exactly happens during the lager phase?
2. Can I perform the lagering phase in a keg? I can hold fermentation temps for a couple of weeks, but I want to lager in my kegerator, and I can't get a carboy in there without removing everything else.
