My idea is to get a big trashcan, fill it with water, put the carboy inside with the top 1/5th not in water. Cover the entire thing with a trash bag to keep out light. The temperature will range from 40-60 degrees in the foreseeable future. I am using a yeast which can function in those...
What would happen if I use an American Lager kit (Nottingham dry yeast) and just perform primary & secondary fermentation without lagering? Would it be an ale? How would it taste?
