I spent my brewing past avoiding lagers because the lack of space and temp control for a proper lager fermentation. Had good success with Kolsch yeasts as the go to for my Mocktoberfest. Based on a conversation and a bit or reading I gave SafLager 34/70 a try in a true Oktoberfest recently at low ale temperatures. Fermented between 61-64 deg for 10 days, fully attenuated and actually cleared pretty well. Awful DMS smell around day 2-3 but cleaned up by the end of day 5. Bottled some and kegged the rest. Opened a bottle 20 days after brew day and was pleasantly surprised with a very clean tasting non-lagered lager. Worth a try for anyone else that has been resistant to try lager yeasts without the traditional process control.
Are there other lager strains that people have had success with at warmer temperatures.
