So I took revvy's recipe for an all grain vienna lager https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f59/revvys-vienna-lager-147772/
and had my lhbs convert it into a partial mash. Anyhow I'm a little concerned about my temperature control. I can put it in the garage but the temp is going to fluctuate. So I figure I have a couple options I wanted some input. Temps in Utah are highs of 50's and lows of 35-40 and will be dropping here in the next few weeks. My garage is insulated but the door will be opened and closed a lot so I know I can't count on a constant temperature.
1) Pitch the lager yeast and hope it is close to that temp in the garage and then put it in the freezer at the 35 for the second month
2) Pitch the lager yeast and just leave it in the house around 65 and call it a steam beer.
3) Pitch my muntons ale yeast and just make a regular ole ale.
What do you think would be best? or is it just personal preference
