I'm going to brew a variation of Biermuncher's Octoberfast on Friday, and I'm debating between lagering and using ale yeast. *I have the capability to lager via a fermentation chamber, the real debate is timing. *I know that a traditional Oktoberfest is supposed to age for multiple months, but I want this beer ready for, well, October. *In theory, brewing this weekend would give me about 5 weeks for aging between the primary and secondary (however that should be split).
Is this enough time to lager it, or should I go the route of using Ale yeast instead?
