Is it possible to brew Lager style beers (Pilsners, Bocks, Schwazbier, etc) using clean Ale Yeast instead of Lager yeasts? im not looking to make anything to put in a competition, just for drink-a-bility. I have no means of being able to Lager ferment, and because so, I am limited in what I can and cannot brew.
Ive read that it is possible to use lager yeasts, and ferment at room temps and still make very good beer (according to Charlie Papazians' book), but you will not have the "smoothness" of the lagering at cooler temps.
Which would be better I guess im asking, Lager yeast at room temp (68F), or using Ale Yeast.
Thanks
