has anyone used a yeast strain, but done something diffrent with it? since its rather cold in my apartment, i cant do ales during the winter months, but its not down to the 40 to 50 range either. so ive been playing around with california lager yeasts the past few months, doing the traditional brews, but, could i do other lager styles with it? not just an amber lager with northern brewer hops, but light european lagers, dark lagers, fruit lagers? my temperature range during these months is around 55-66, perfect for this yeast strain, and while i do enjoy cali lagers, i also wana see what else it can produce.
any ideas? is this a mainstream idea that everyone trys? say i do a witbeir, but throw this yeast in, something like that?
