Fluctuating lagering temps

[aqudoc]

My first HB's are lagers. They're both in secondary glass carbs in the garage, the first about 3-4 weeks now, the second about 10 days, where it's been btwn 45 -55 degrees F...until yesterday when the temp has started to warm. I found a used freezer on craiglist i'll get tomorrow, but today it's 75 degrees! What's the prognosis on my lagers?

I would not worry, fermentation should be complete so you don't have to worry about fruity esters forming up. One day at 75 degrees probably won't hurt anything.

thanks for the support moger777, the wait is killing me

Sounds like you just got a nice Diacetyl rest.

I was hoping someone would say that, thanks
