ok, i need a few tips how to get lager-like beer without lagering
-is it better to use lager yeast at higher temperatures for lager yeast, or ale yeast at lower temperatures for ale yeast? Let's say I got 61 F in the room - should I use ale or lager yeast?
-of course I can not lager because I haven't got a fridge yet, but i can store it quite cold (50-60 F) for a longer time
-what about mashing - I suppose lower temperatures - longer mashes....
-grain? can I use pilsner with ale yeast (I know I can, I'm just asking what kind of final product I'll have in the end)
-If I use ale yeast at lower temps for ale yeast what strain should it be and vice versa if I use lager yeast what strain should it be for higher temps for lager yeast?
-any proven recipe for what I'm looking for?
if you think I missed some questions, please ask instead of me
thanks
