How should I use Saflager W-34/70 yeast?

[chemnitz]

So, I've got an extra packet of Saflager W-34/70 yeast (it's a long story), and I don't know what I'm going to do with it. What beers would be appropriate? Also, I don't have a refrigeration setup for lagers yet, so is it possible to use this yeast for a California Common or other warm-fermenting beer? Would it work with a swamp cooler setup? Has anyone had any success with something like this? Thanks.

I'd say do a German lager; Octoberfest, Bock or Dopplebock.

If you can't do the lagers do a Dampfbier. Its the German version of a steam beer. Dampfbier

I would suggest a Vienna lager or a Helles (Dampf-style) or do the other styles slightly warm, which will still turn out good. You don't want to use it for competition since it will be exactly to style.
