Pulling a lager from ferm. Chamber for a week.

[Ian123]

I only have the one freezer converted to a temp controlled ferm chamber. I'm currently holding my first lager a a pretty low temp. (Two more weeks to go)
I'd like to brew a wheat beer tomorrow tha requires a higher temp. But not as high as room temp. If i pulled the lager for a week and left it out at room temp while the wheat beer ar least somewhat ferments at the proper temp. Would there be any ill effect on the lager.
The lager has been in secondary near 1.1 degrees celcius for just over two weeks. Should i just bottle it?
Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

No ill effects to worry about. I lager one week per 10 points OG, they come out super clear and clean doing that. Of course, you can bottle lager too.

My og. Before primary was 1.066. After primary and at the start of lagering the new gravity was 1.012.
So are you saying to lager for 7 weeks based on 1.066? Or lager for 1.5 weeks based on the 1.012 before going into lager?
Sorry if that is confusing. Its my First lager.

I would lager 7 weeks.

Of course, you don't "have" to, and I've not experimented with it, but I have found that following this advice I have beautifully clear and clean flavored lagers.

What an easy rule to follow. Thanks so much!
Do you think there would be an ill effect of pulling it fpr a week and leaving at a room temp, then returning it for the duration?

To make room for an ale. For just a week. I will be looking into a second chamber for the future
