I had to try it
4 weeks of lagering lodo pilsner,
90° and humid
My 1 litre mugs arrived today, what better way to break them in.

Re: I had to try it
Like it needs 4 more weeks to be perfect, still has a slight harshness to it.

Re: I had to try it
8-12 weeks is the classic Bavarian condition ingredients period. Obviously, there are accelerated methods, but they will impact flavours.
During the last football (soccer) world-cup in Germany, all Munich breweries bar one increased their output to profit from the expected increase in demand.
That one (Munich) brewery refused to increase the output because it would have a negative impact on the quality of their product which they weren't willing to compromise on.
Nobody installed new kettles or fermenters, but everyone shortened their conditioning period and used accelerated fermentation.
It's not difficult to guess which Munich brewery it was.
For what it's worth, all my lagers are at least 8 weeks in conditioning. Stronger ones longer. 12 weeks.
I am not saying everyone should do that, but those who ponder with the idea may find comfort in our deeply rooted traditional methods.
