The Doc / Tasty lager experiment segment was awesome and really inspired me to try brewing one of my favorite styles. I was too impatient in the past and hated the thought of waiting 6-8 weeks for a beer.
I started last Friday, 7/12/13 @ 50 F
2 days later when fermentation was going pretty strong I bumped it up to 52 F
2 days later I bumped it to 54 F
3 days later I bumped it to 56 F
And today I dry hopped it and increased to 58 F. The beer looks like it's almost done fermenting as everything is dropping out. I'm going to let it sit at 58 for a few more days and keep bumping the temp up a few degrees until I get to 62-64 F.
Hoping it turns out well and I think it will. What's coming out of the fermenter smells really good.

How long you letting that hang out afterwards before serving?
