So - I bought a couple vials of the White Labs WLP810 San Francisco Lager Yeast.
The problem is fermentation temperature - I'm going to have to ferment at 75F, because that's the temp the cellar is at and I don't have an easy way to lower temperatures (yet). White Labs says the optimum temp range is 58 to 65F.
So - if I ferment the SF Lager Yeast at 75F to 80F, will the end-result be OK, or should I just go with an Ale yeast? BTW - building a system to control fermentation temperatures better is on the short list.
I plan on making two brews with the SF lager yeast - a czech-style light lager and a Marzen.
