going big

[smileyak87]

Today is my first day brewing and I decided to go big

So far I have made a wheat extract recipe which I am going to racj onto peach and apricot puree in secondary

3 gallons of hard apple cider which I am going to add cinnamon sticks too in a week

Right now I have a lawnmower lager kit boiling away which came with ale yeast so I'm going to ferment as an ale, will this work?

 

[Hello]

Nice! Lagers want lager temps but why a lager came with ale yeast is a new one to me. The more seasoned brewers may not. Look up the yeast online and see what temps it prefers...ferment in that range. Lagers need much lower temps but I don't think the fact that you have some beer called a lager with ale yeast will require you to "lager" your beer.

Its nottingham ale yeast which is what I use in cider so I'm gonna go ale fermenting and see how it does.

The kit came with

Pilsner extract
Crystal solids
Rice extract

Almost reminds me of a budweiser by smell lol. Probably be a great bbq beer
