Curly straw through the airlock bung..Checked gravity on my latest Pilsener today. It's first time using a true lager yeast , Lalbrew Diamond.
It has reached predicted 1.010 after 12 days fermenting at 12c.
Sample nice and clear though still plenty of yeast in suspension, tasted very promising.
Would like to hear peoples thoughts on how to go from here ?
My thought was to rack to a clean FV and leave to lager at 2c for another couple of weeks before kegging
and subsequent conditioning at same temperature.
Or leave as is skipping another FV, though I usually transfer of yeast cake before cold crash and kegging as
I find it results in brighter beer.

Not as yet, finished and still sitting at 12c.Did you do a diacetyl rest mate, I'm no expert on lagers but I usually bring my temp up to 18c for a few days before cold crashing, lagering in bottle.
Well brew day yesterday went a little too well with my mild coming in at 1.039 instead of 1.036 suppose I will live with it but annoying as I really want a sub 4% beer, ah well.
