Off Paper Lager: Update 2

Racked OPL to the secondary and am step-down lagering from 52-35 degrees over 7 days.  Then leaving it at 35 for a month.  Color is spot-on to Dos Equis Lager, as is flavor.  Drew a sample when racking for hydrometer/taste readings and my Dos Equis-loving neighbors assure me that the taste is right on the money.  Slightly bitter, but that should mellow out in lagering and bottling.  I think I'll try this recipe again in a few months and if it turns out again, I'll post it on Homebrewtalk.com as a Dos Equis clone.
