My first HB's are lagers. They're both in secondary glass carbs in the garage, the first about 3-4 weeks now, the second about 10 days, where it's been btwn 45 -55 degrees F...until yesterday when the temp has started to warm. I found a used freezer on craiglist i'll get tomorrow, but today it's 75 degrees! What's the prognosis on my lagers?
 
I would not worry, fermentation should be complete so you don't have to worry about fruity esters forming up. One day at 75 degrees probably won't hurt anything.
