What yeast you use Al?
The pepper beer sounds good.
I made the Vienna lager and then made a light lager and for some reason I didn’t set the MrMalty calculator to lager and just pitched a vial of mexi-lager yeast in 3gal of wort. I figure this one might just be a large starter for the next batch, I’m even debating whether to take it out of the 50F fermentor chamber and let it run hot to get it done faster. Any hope for this beer being drinkable?
Let’s see, Lennie, if you were making a Corona clone, what would make you think it would be drinkable even if you did pitch the right amount of yeast?

Because I made it of course.

You should be okay - creep up the temp slowly and do a long diacetyl rest. Rack it to a keg and “lager” in your kegorator if you can. That way you keep up the experiment without taking up any fermentor space.
You could also krausen with that next batch of lager if this one needs a bit of cleaning up.
