I want to take full advantage of the cold winter months where I live, my garage is cold for the next 3 month or longer. I can lager beer in there. However, I don't want to brew lagers. I want to take lager recipes and use top fermenting yeast.
I am going to do something like this:
8 # german two row pale
4 # munich
4# vienna
1 oz pearle at 60
1 oz pearle at 10
Primary ferement cool at 60-62 degrees for two weeks
Lager for a month or two....carb and serve
I have narrowed it down to two yeast strains.
Nottingham and White Labs Kolsch
I am leaning heavily towards kolsch, but rogue dead guy uses a yeast that I think is somewhat similar to nottingham for the dead guy.
What do you all think? Nottingham or kolsch for a top fermented maibock...ish beer?
