Meant to mash 60m at 154F, ended up mashing in to 158, dropping to 145, raising to 150, and holding for 45 more minutes. Used a 90m boil, ended up with just about 5 gallons exactly in the bucket. Probably 4.5-4.75 in carboy. This is what happens when you brew outside in the rain on a cold day and screw up the mash. Oh well. Smells good.

yo man. Did you keg this...or bottle? I bottled my Pilsner and ended up repitching with Nottingham dry yeast upon a recommendation by my LHBS, and am wondering if it added a fruity taste to my beer. Still tastes good...just wondering what others do to bottle Lagers.
kegged and forced.
i have bottled a couple lagers, and both times i've added dry yeast with the priming sugar. but those were dark lagers (brews 33 and 60)that already had a little fruit to them.
i've heard that it shouldn't be an issue even in pils etc.
