I have two fermentations going on right now - a Festbier and a Marzen - both on 34/70. I figured in a couple of weeks I'd transfer these to kegs for lagering and brew again. Would would be good to put on these? I thought maybe a Bock on the Marzen, but what suggestions do y'all have? Would it be good to do a clean Pilsner next?
What should I brew next on my 34/70 cakes?

Maibock on the Festbier and Doppelbock on the Marzen?
Rauchbier on either, if you're not planning on using the yeast cake further?
California Common or Baltic Porter? (Mmmm, Baltic Porter...)

A really nice APL would be a good addition to your noble hop driven styles. Basically an apa with a lager yeast. I'd keep it in the 5% abv range with about 30 ibus and appropriate late and dry hop additions.

I'd go with a nice vienna lager or pilsner...either will be great! Can't have too many lagers around at least IMHO.
This. Check out: German Pils - Bo Berry Pils (West Coast Pilsner)
Inspired by Timbo Pils: Possibly the best lager on the planet *ducks*
.
What ABV brews were done on those cakes? If in a reasonable range, most any of those lagers would be fine.
If the ABV was high, yeast could be tired or mutated, and you might benefit from changing it out.

They were both around 6%. I pitched two packs in each.
You’re good to go! My choice: Pilsner Das Imperium!
Brew an imperial kölsch lol
Back to this - it looks like I'm going to do a Bo Pils and a Doppelbock. I shouldn't have any problems if I rack off the beers Friday night and put the new wort on Saturday, right? I'll leave the fermentation vessels in the chambers at 45F - my pitching temp for the new beers. I can transfer off under pressure, but I do need to open them up to get my iSpindels out to charge overnight.
I see no problems with that.
