Sorry if this has been covered, I didn't really find much on a search. After watching the Brewing TV episode about lager brewing I decided I wanted to try something. They said (and it also says this on the Wyeast website) that the Bohemian Lager yeast could be fermented into the high 60's and I figured I'd wanna get one more lager in while it's still cool up here. (don't have a ferm fridge) I brewed a 5 gallon all weyermann pils beer, landed at 1.050. I pitched 2 smack packs (yes I know according to Mr. Malty this is underpitching but I didn't have time to make a starter and didn't have the money to buy 4 smack packs). Anywho, she took off within 12 hours and she's still going pretty steady now at about 66 degrees according to the stickon thermometer. (been 3 days).
Anyway, I'm just wondering if anyone else has tried to push the temperature limits on this yeast and what their results were? BTV says that it makes a very clean beer even at these temps so I suppose we shall see.
