Even though I have a low tech lagering setup I still don't think I am ready to do a lager yet. My latest issue of the Northern Brewer catalog says you can use a clean ale yeast fermented on the low temp end like Wyeast 1056, 2112, or White Labs 001. Would you guys say these do give you a lager like flavor and would it work in something like a Canadian Lager like a Moose Head or Molson clone? I can't get the taste profile down in my mind if those flavors are driven by hops or sulfur? What say you?
While were at it why do kit makers and recepe books avoid Canadian Lagers? For instance Jamil doesn't have an example of one in Brewing Classic Styles that I can seem to find. Are they difficult to brew?
