Ale Malt In Lagers

[scrogster]

I've got heaps of Ale Malt at present (Powell's to be specific). Lager season is definitely upon me, especially since I usually ferment in my garage in Melbourne. Anyone got some suggestions for recipes, or any good reasons why I shouldn't be able to make a decent lager or two out of this malt? I'm not worried about style guidelines, just the quality of the finished product. All suggestions welcome.

I use JW Trad Ale malt in my Oktoberfest. Comes out great.

Beers,

I brewed a few Stouts last year in a cold garage with Ale malt & Lager yeast. No dramas, turned out great.
Cheers

Should be quite good in in darker lagers, eg vinnas/octerberfests, dunkels, schwarzbier.

The darker lagers are definitely the way to go.
