Lager Yeast at 68-71 deg?

[IXVolt]

I ended up using some lager yeast b/c I did a 10 gallon batch and didn't have enough Nottingham for both primaries.

They are sitting around 68 - 71 through out the day. Is that too high for a lager yeast? What type of result could I expect? I don't have a way to control the temp lower, aside from perhaps tossing it in a water bath and I don't know if I have the room for that...

I think you'll still make beer. There may be some subtle off flavors from the temp being too high for that particular strain of yeast. You might just like it though. It's still beer, and maybe you learn something.

I missed the forth hop addition too... lol (not even drunk, just forgot)

So I guess I'm going to dry hop with the remaining.
