Hey guys -
So I got a pretty late start this year on my Oktoberfest and didn't end up brewing it until about the 6th of October. Just racked it over into the keg and on first taste it was a little fruity/solventy. I'm chocking this up to the 1-3 day period where this beer was at 66-68 F using Wyeast 2112. Not something I planned on - one of those uncontrollable instances. I know on the pack it says it retains lager characteristics up to 65, which seems to be the case so far, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this sort of situation with this yeast and what their results were when they eventually tapped it?
I'm planning on letting this one sit around till about christmas and then seeing what happens while those yeasties are working away at it.
