Just out of curiosity, why do you think so? I've never made a lager myself.

 

[XELA]

because i made ale twice and they were both undrinkable,

i made larger once so far an it wasnt too bad (bit yeasty tho)

maybe its cuz i made larger after the two ales and so had a little bit more experience??

i dno, it just seems easier to get right, and so im brewin another larger to see if its as good as the first

how come you havnt tried making larger?

Seems it would be harder for me, because from what I understand, a lager needs cooler temperatures to ferment. I don't have extra refrigerators.

I just brewed the larger normally.. i never bother with heat control..

you can definitely get some good results brewing with a larger yeast at "room" temperatures. you are, in fact, making a Steam Beer!

Just last month I toured one of the (few) remaining Steam Beer producers (in the States, at least) out in San Francisco - Anchor Steam - one of the originals. It's an old style of beer that came the the US's west coast from what I know. Great stuff!

Welcome and happy brewing!
