Oh BTW, the yeast I'm using is supposed to be tolerant of cold temps in the 50's, and I have read it can be actually used in some lager types.

Nottingbham is a good yeast, I have used it on occasion for a couple of years now. Good attenuation. It's a good "psuedo lager" yeast. Works great on cream ales. I have even been know to use it in ciders with good results. I always keep a pack or two around for emergency use.

I have a cider that is a few months old I fermented with Nottinghams. It was an emergency packet that was about to expire. Finished out at 1.010 from 1.056. Didn't have to back sweeten it. Nice rounded flavor.

I fermed it at 62 degrees cause I had a hefe going and have only one fridge with a Johnson Controller.
