Interesting point! I haven’t had much homebrewing exposure so haven’t experienced that yet. Thanks Craig!

Traditionally, a lager is fermented cooler then an ale. While ales are typically fermented in the mid to upper 60’s (Fahrenheit) range, lagers are normally fermented in the low to mid 50’s (Fahrenheit)

For the homebrewer, this can create a bit of a challenge if they don’t have the means to control fermentation temperatures. Of course there’s quite a bit of evidence out there that you can indeed ferment a lager at ale temperatures.
