Default Bottle A Lager
Brewed an Oktoberfest Lager in April. I'm ready to bottle it so that it will be ready for a party on Oct 1. It is setting at 38 degrees. Should I step up the temp each day before bottling at room temp or does it matter?

I don't believe temp matters. It definitely needs to warm up a bit in the bottle to bottle carb if that is what you plan on doing.

Bottle it with a third of a pack of s-05 and let it set for 3 weeks and then refridge for a week. It should be OK.


Why did you wait so long?

You can bottle it cold, no problem. Then keep it at room temperature for conditioning.

Marzens (Oktoberfests) are typically brewed in March (Marz) for drinking for Oktoberfest at the end of September. The timing sounds great on this one!

This sounds right to me.
