Diacetyl Rest on Lager way to hott!!! help

[texas12183]

Ok so i had brewed my lager, everything was going according to plan and was approaching the end of fermentation. I was on day 3 of my diacetyl rest and left my space heater in my freezer to warm my beer 5 degrees. Well 10 hrs later and 30 degrees higher i realized this. Not sure what the actual temp of the beer is at this point but i am guessing in the mid to upper 80s... Should i just throw away and start over ? or continue to the lager phase. Any help would be greatly appreciated

+1 Sounds like your main yeast growth & fermentation occurred at normal fermentation temperatures. You should be fine....

How'd that turn out? remember? I would guess some higher alcohols and maybe some extra haze from beating up the yeast, but maybe a loooooooonnngggg layering would help. either way should be interesting.
