Ok I bought all the stuff to make this lager but it wet be ready in time for my occasion in march, could I possibly use a ale yeast on this recipe, would it turn out?
He-brews,
You certainly can use an ale yeast..... but it won't be a lager. Ale yeasts have a bit of a fruitiness and some esters that lager yeasts avoid.
It certainly will be good but will probably be more in the line of a cream ale instead of a Helles.
Brew it up. No harm at all!
