Hey all,
So I was thinking about making an Oktoberfest type beer - since it's not long until October obviousy.
Now I realise that the lagers should be conditioned and fermented for a long time at low temperatures, but I really don't have access to cool down the beer below room temperature (don't have a spare bathtub or frem chamber). I want to build a frementation chamber in the winter, or maybe next year, but until then, it's not really an option to cool it down.
So is it possible to make an Oktoberfest/Märzen type beer with some other type of yeast at higher temperatures?
Or is the best advice really to wait until you could do it properly?
