While it's only been a couple days, I will try and chill and see how it turns out I guess. Either way, I know most of my friends will drink it because it's free beer. However, I appreciate all the tips and hints and will incorporate them in my next attempt.

Never had a starter...that's my main problem. Since I'm new to brewing, I followed the instructions which didn't have me use a starter. It had me sprinkle yeast directly into the wort.

I've already pitched though. That's where my problem is. The packet said sprinkle on the wort. So my wort is low to mid 70s right now. The fridge is down to 60. Should I place in the fridge? Should I wait till I rack for secondary? What temp should I get it at? I guess I am just curious...

Great...thanks for the help. What should I do about my current beer though?

The directions on the kit had me sprinkle directly into the wort. That is why I'm worried. Since I'm fairly new to brewing, I had no idea that I should start it first. As I'm learning still, I'm curious as to whether I will ruin my current beer or not. Any help would be amazing.

Quick question....if you start your lager in the low 70's because you don't have an extra fridge, will it ruin it, or can you get it into a fridge a couple of days later and still be okay? I had a fridge that is 1.5 inches too small for my fermenter, but will have one hopefully tonight. Any...
