For high gravity lagers, do they typically take longer to age in secondary fermenters than high gravity ales would? I’m talking if a lager has the same terminal gravity and alcohol content as an ale at the end of primary fermentation and is ready to be racked into a secondary fermenter to sit for a while.
Also, I made a mistake of storing a 5 gallon batch of a high gravity ale in a plastic carboy (secondary fermenter) to let it sit for 6 months. I understand there can be some exposure to oxygen over time, but would it hurt to transfer it over to a glass carboy after it’s been sitting in the plastic carboy for a little over 2 months? I don’t want to spoil the beer by doing it. Rather be safe than sorry.
