Lager Notes:

Lower Temperature to 12 C.
Lower temp .5 C per day until 1 C is reached, hold at 1 C for 14 - 21 days.

Edit: Typo in header, should read fermentation temperature of "12 C" not "12 F"
 
How did this turn out? Crystal and aromatic malt is unusual for a Helles, but I think it might be quite good.
