No lager Octoberfest update
Well I think I may have done a booboo. Usually I only have 2 X 1 liter bottles of ice in with my primary to keep the temps just under 70. We have had a little bit of a warm streak to I went ahead and put all 4 in. The bubbles stopped and it is only day 4. I am not sure what the temp is right now as my thermometer has a dead battery. I am really hoping that once the temp rises a little that it will come back to life. I really doubt that it could have finished in just 4 days so I am not even going to take a sample yet. I will be taking a sample on this saturday (day 7) just to see where it stands. I am planning on letting it go for 14 days in the primary and then bottling it. I guess I will just have to wait and see what the beer has to say about that.

Time is your friend. Let it warm back up a bit and you should be fine. Don't worry about the number of days in the primary until you pass 28 days. I've had many beers in primary and never had problems going four weeks.
