Room temp is fine.
Question for you, I am currently working on my first attempt at a lager, a European Pilsner, and am worried about bottle conditioning. After racking to a secondary and lagering for 6 weeks, I am worried that I may not have enough viable yeast to properly carb my beer.
Did you re pitch with any yeast prior to bottling your oktoberfest?
From what I have read Matt, you should be okay without re-pitching. Having said that, for the cost of half a packet of yeast it might be worth thinking about. I recently had my first experience with repitching at bottling (a stout) and I was quite happy with how it worked out.

Never done it myself, but plenty of people say you can use pretty much any clean-flavored dry yeast. Ale yeast is fine, so grab a packet of whatever is cheapest.
