This is something I have wanted to do for awhile.. I composed one of my favorite beer recipe (that is an ale.) And I pitched an ale yeast in my primary.. I kept the temp at around 58-60 degrees.. Needless to say the fermentaion was not vigorous and didnt last very long.. Today I pitched some lager yeast in the secondary when i transfered the beer over.. Its sitting at 52 degrees and started fermenting right away..
I was thinking of doing something like this to an OktoberFast recipe.
Throwing some ale yeast in at about 62-64 degrees, then try and lager it with some lager yeast in the secondary..
has anyone tried this before?
if so, what were your results..
