hello everyone
i want to ask some advice. i recently brewed my first lager and the other half loved it. so now she wants me to keep up supply of lager in the house. this would be fine if i had the capacity to brew both ales and lagers at the same time but i only have one fermenting fridge and 2 fermenters. when i did the lager it took up my fridge for a couple of months.
so want i want to know is can i brew a lager or a pilsner with an ale yeast? can i take the grain & hop bill of a lager / pilsner and substitute the yeast for an ale yeast and make an ok brew? if so what would be an appropriate yeast to use?
any advice or suggestions welcomed.
cheers
