Lager yeast with a Stout

Hoosierbrewer · May 8, 2008

I am working on a recipe for an AG stout to brew later this summer. I love Oatmeal and Coffee stouts so I may look at others recipes on here. I plan to expirament and use a lager yeast instead. I heard of a brewery in Iowa that does it every year. Has anyone tried to use lager yeast on a stout? ANy tips?

I don't know about a Commercial Stout with lager yeast but most Baltic Porters are done with lager yeast. And I enjoy them very much.

I've done a Baltic Porter with a lager yeast - quite tasty. I imagine you could do the same with a stout.

Here is one example I found. I am heading to St. Louis next week and am giong to look for it. I doubt I will find it though since it seems ot be seasonal.

A stout works fine with a lager yeasts. I've had American-style stouts that were fermented with bock, california common, and koelsch yeasts, and they were great.

I did a version of the 888 RIS with a lager yeast and I thought it to be superior.
