I'm sure I am not the first person who has had this happen but I froze my lager a week or so into lagering. What do I do?
I went away for work last week and returned last night to see a frozen better bottle and a good amount of spillage in my lager chamber. The regulator failed and dropped the temp and I froze 3 gallons of pilsner.
I've pulled it out and am in the processing of defrosting it now.
Is it ruined?
Any thoughts on what to do?
My plan is to defrost and resume for another 2 weeks and see what happens.

Lagered at 1010
Haven't tasted it yet.
Any help is much appreciated. I'm going to assume its not lost but might have some off flavors.
