my brewing buddy, who only buys kits, bought a kit and i think he got the wrong yeast. He went to a lesser brew shop and got a cream ale kit; i dont know the specifics of the recipe because the kits dont list them but it was about 1.5 lbs of a light grain, 7 lbs of pale malt extract, 1 oz unknown boiling hops, .75 oz of 15 min hops. Anyways without a recipe i cant be sure but he said the brewmaster there gave him a WPL 810(i think) the San Fransisco lager yeast. I have never brewed a lager, and my question is should i just treat this as a week in primary at 65 degrees, two week in secondary, ect. like the rest of my ales, or should i do something different with this yeast strand ????
