Has anyone tried using a lager yeast for cider making? I'm planning on brewing a schwarzbier and might make a big enough starter to have some extra yeast. I've made ciders with american 2, champagne yeast, white wine and now want to try lager yeast.

EC-1118 at low temps is still very fast, and certainly seems to resist "blowing out" all the flavors of the juice. I will definitely be fermenting at low temps with it from now on.
Lager yeast has resulted in a better tasting batches for myself when compared against cider yeast. I use Lager yeast from Mangrove Jack’s.Has anyone tried using a lager yeast for cider making?
