So, I've got 3 batches of lager that have been sitting at 32 degrees for over 2 months now, and one of my kegs just kicked. It's time for me to get one of the batches on tap, which means I have space in my freezer for another beer.
Thing is, I have a friend getting married on April 30, and he says he prefers stouts. I was thinking of going with a baltic porter to maintain lager temps, but there's not enough time to ferment, lager, force carb, bottle, and ship to Minneapolis in time for the wedding.
So, my question: Will I hurt the lagers by raising the freezer temperature to 62 or so for 2-3 weeks to ferment a stout?
