Quick question, I only have one fermentation chamber, a large freezer with a temp controller. I will have about 20 gallons of pils and marzen lagering at 33 degrees soon, will it hurt them to come up to the low 60's for a week or so to do a couple of ales then drop them back to the 30s?
 
I would do the ale before you drop the temp for lagering. This is typically what I'll do. I'll make sure to control the temps for the ale the first few days then I'll pull it out to finish at room temps. Then I'll crank the freezer down to finish my lagers.
