nice, that's super cool! i've been peripherally interested in brewing for a while now but never known anybody who's done a lager, you gotta let us know how it comes out
If you do it under pressure, it can be done at room temp. So I'm doing a bit of a personal challenge, but keeping it simple.
ah that's interesting i never thought of pressure as being part of the equation for fermentation conditions. does that also effect the fermentation time?
If you set them up right lagers don't really take all that long to ferment at low temperatures, it's that pesky lagering period that'll get you.
It speeds it up or so I've read. The down side for ales is it suppreses esters and flavors. However, in the lager world - that's a desirable trait.
