Dont have the ability to ferment at lagering temps. Likely going to ferment around 70 degrees. Is this going to be a problem??? What will happen?
Yeast is wyeast 2112

Try putting it in a waterproof bin (keg bucket or equiv) and throw in some water* bottles. Either way, you just made a beer similar to a steam beer (lager yeast at ale temps).

Edit: that should have read frozen water bottles, with some water. Would be great if you could get it down to 60
 
It was awesome!!! You guys were right.... :rockin:
