Has anyone tried this yeast (German Bock Lager) in a steam beer? I am about to rack a doppelbock and am planning a steam beer next, so was thinking of repitching this yeast. I realize that I'd probably end up outside of the BJCP guidelines, but will not be entering this into competition.
The main issue I see is that the high end of ferm temps recommended by White Labs is 55, and I'd probably shoot for a temp of 60-62 for this type of beer.
Otherwise, I won't be brewing a lager for a while so will probably just dump the yeast and start with a fresh vial of something more true to style.
