High temp ferment on a lager

[michaelhult]

Hi all! I'm making a citrus bomb ipa( I hope lol). I used California lager yeast 2112. My thought was to increase the fruitiness of the beer by using the lager yeast at a higher temp. Here's what I did:

-pitched at 70
-day 1 fermented at 65
-day 2,3,4 held at 60

My questions:
How long should it take to hit FG? OG was 1.056

Should I lager when done or just treat like an ale?

Thanks guys. I thought up the reciepe in my LHB store and realised I thought I was smarter then than after lol

Don't expect this to be particularly fruity (as compared to fermenting with Brett, Conan, or London ale 3). But sounds like a decent IPL. I would lager it for a couple weeks, dry hop, then keg and serve. Fermentation will be done by day 7 or so, but give it two weeks just to be safe
