It's currently fermenting in a fridge at 70. Thoughts on how long to ferment? Any other thoughts or suggestions?

Since you have a fridge for fermentation, maybe kick the fridge temp down 2-3 degrees, but probably not needed. At 70, your fermenter's probably gonna be about 75, which will pull out esters that will work with the style. Lowering it a couple degrees will knock those down a tad.

Ferment for 2-4 weeks then bottle or keg it and all will be good. Double check the SG prior to bottling just in case fermentation stuck, but it's unlikely to happen.

The temp bounces around between 68-70.5.
