can I move a lager with WLP810 sanfrancisco lager yeast to a frige at 47 degrees F ? Will it still ferment, or will it kill the yeast.

It should ferment at 47F, lagers are typically more complicated than regular ales, however the yeast you noted is typically used for a steam beer, (lager strain fermented at ale temperatures) so, I'm a bit confused what you're going for here. It's actually pretty hard to "kill" yeast unless you freeze it (not in medium made for storing yeast) or heat it to 140F+.

I was fermenting in a garage, so I surched out a yeast for warmer temps. Now I have a refrigerator and have to ferment in it. It's not my garage and space is a premium.
