Hi All,

I don't have the technology to brew lagers yet :( and really want to make an Oktoberfest for the fall (not just yet, but preparing).

I was curious how I could make this at ale temps. Do I just use the lager yeast at ale temps or do I use an ale yeast? Any suggestions?

Thanks
 
You can certainly use an oktoberfest kit or recipe and substitute ale yeast, preferably as clean of a strain as you can find. Ferment as cool as you can, within the limits of the yeast strain. Unfortunately, it won't taste identical because it will have some ale/yeast flavor, but it will still be quite good.
