i have this grain bill for dark mild

6.25 lbs. pale malt
5 oz. crystal 60
5 oz. crystal 120
4 oz. black patent
4 oz. pale chocolate malt
1 oz. EKG's

what i was wondering is could i use a saflager yeast instead of safale s-33?
the temps in my brewrage are in the fiftys and will be that way for the next two to three weeks. after that (being that iam in texas) the temps will probably be around a hundred for the next fifty weeks. i do have a fermentation fridge to maintain the temps once they go up. what kind of results could i expect? would i need to change the hops for the lagering process?
 
You could, but just putting a blanket or two over your fermenter would keep the temperature high enough fo the s-33.

It would taste like a mild. (That's a huge amount of BP for a dark mild. 1 oz would be plenty.)

No need to change the hops.
 
Nottingham is another good dry ale yeast for lower temperatures.
