How are you planning on doing this?

Are you going to lager this for next Octoberfest or are you just trying this style to drink when it is ready? Or are you going to treat it like an ale and not lager it?

Good question. This will be treated as if it were ale yeast. SO im thinking 7days in primary and 3 weeks in secondary. I will let you know how it works out. THanks for the comment.
