Ok, story is too long, but I brewed last night an almost 2 yr old B.B. Vienna Lager with new hops and White Labs WLP830. This is my 3rd batch ever and told the LHBS that I couldn't properly lager and need to brew as an ale. Probably not the best yeast strain, right ? Ran out of time to do proper research on this brew. So, I just went for it.
I pitched 5 gallons at 62F, with a OG of 1.049. It is currently at 55F without any activity.Didn't know about starters until it was too late.
I am confused has how to proceed with this WLP830 ? as an ale or un-lagered lager.
How fast can I make this a descent, drinkable beer since I am moving cross country in middle of Feb. ? Cut out secondary ?
Any advise would go a long way guys !
Thanks
