I have two cans of Coopers European Lager that I picked up on sale, not realizing they use a true Lager yeast.
I don't have facilities at the moment to maintain the cooler temps needed by a lager yeast, and am wondering what I might end up with if I instead used an ale yeast at around 20-22C.
I have a packet of ale yeast from a basic Coopers Lager kit (the type they include with their homebrew equipment kit) as well as some Wyeast British Ale II liquid yeast and some White Labs Belgian / Saison blend.
Would any of those be worth a go? What kind of results could I expect? I am assuming there is nothing particular about the extract that would absolutely require a lager yeast, but am unsure and don't want to waste any ingredients or my time.
I'm thinking of simply pitching the Coopers ale yeast, making it as if it is a basic Coopers Lager (Ale) kit. Eh?
