So I read on New Belgium's website that for their 1554 Enlightened Black Ale they use a lager yeast at ale temps. Is this something I could recreate at home. What should I expect if I pitch a packet of S-23 and ferment it in my ~68 degree closet? Will the yeast even work at that temp? If it does will I end up with any gross flavors? I'm pretty interested in this idea but don't want to waste the ingredients (and the fermenter space) if it would surely come out better with an ale yeast.
