Maine Homebrewer

Winter is coming and heating oil is expensive, as a result my home is too chilly for using ale yeast.
My last batch of the season is an IPA, except that I chose to use lager yeast because the thermostat is set for 65, and the basement is holding steady at 55.
I've never used lager yeast before, mainly because of the whole lagering thing.
I've already started the batch. The recipe is typical for me - seat of the pants based upon available ingredients and whim.
9# pale, 1.5# light Munich, .5# special B, 1oz Challenger for 90, 1oz Challenger for 60, 1oz K.G. for 10 with a S.G of 1.051.
I'm relaxed, without worry and with homebrew, however I'd like to know if anyone has tried this before and if there is anything I should know.
Prost,
John
