NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to 
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3500
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to 
spare for next year. Please consider it.

Subject: Berliner fermentation times?

Anyone have any good info on what a typical fermentation 
time either primary only or primary secondary, if that's used
 for this style? I brewed the thing yesterday and pitched my
lacto starter (I'll post more details when I have some better
data..) and plan to let the lacto go for two days before I pitch
 the neutral yeast to finish it off.. but then what? Do I do my
 normal 10 days primary and keg it, or should I secondary 
this thing and let it go for longer? I can't seem to find much
 good information on this aspect of the brew. There's, 
apparently, 600 ways to brew thing beer to get the wort 
done.. but nothing much follows that, that I've been able 
to read about.
