Hi everybody! Long time no posting.
I just have a quick question about lagering and what it does to the final product of beer. I presently do not have the equipment to properly lager a beer, but as I've been reading the various "How To" books, I find myself wondering, what happens if I brew a lager beer but then ferment it at an ale temperature? Does it turn out something like the "California Common" that I see mentioned but never really explained? Or does it just make a bogus beer that nobody wants to drink?
Thanks for the input, just something that I've been musing on and wondered if anyone had any further information!
