Hi All,
I brewed a dortmunder export a while ago, using WLP830 yeast. As luck would have it, the compressor on my fermention freezer I hadn't used in a while had become (according to a repair guy) "weak" and so the best it could get the temp down to was about 15C-16C. So it fermented out at 15C/16C, and since then has been sitting for about a month in a basement, around 20C -- 22C.
I finally got around to getting a new freezer this week. I am going to go ahead and lager it and hope for the best, but was curious if anyone else has fermented (intentionally or otherwise) a lager this warm. Do you think I'll end up with something drinkable?
