I've only ever fermented ales before and I would like to try a lager. I'm intending to make a pilsner. I have a fridge for my fermenter so temperature control is not an issue in that regard, however, I don't have a fridge big enough to store more than a few bottles so once bottled they will have to stay at room temperature until I can put them in the fridge to drink the next day or so.
Will that be a problem to store them at warmer temperatures for a few weeks? What about if I were to make something like a doppelbock that will need additional conditioning time?
Also I'm thinking of doing a warm ferment with lager yeast like Saflager 34/70, or should I just do a traditional cold ferment?
