The best research is to travel to established breweries and ask them to take a tour. While on the tour, ask them questions.

Your garage will be completely fine! Do u think thy had temperature control hundreds of years ago when they lagered in caves?

It will ferment....it may take longer. It could take like 2 weeks at that temp to finish! You may not hit your fg with it being so low too.
