I may have been a little overzealous, and I brewed an Oktoberfest Lager without having the exact means of cooling the lager. I used Saflager W/34
70, and it fermented around 62 degrees for 4 weeks. Then making room in the extra fridge I put the carboy inside and it dropped to 36 degrees in approximately 2 1/2 days.
What should I expect this to taste like, and is there anything I can do to improve my faulted process? I read this was similar to a "steam" style beer, which would be great, but there is not very much information about this that I've found.
