coopers european lager

[GF21]

Hi All
can anyone tell me how coopers can consider a true lager yeast to ferment at between 21c to 27c , my thoughts were lager ferments at 15c to 18c so i am finding their instructions confusing , any thoughts all ?

Hi
I know what you mean I think it's more like an ale yeast and certainly ferments like one. I did 3 or 4 kit's last year and does make something like lager definitely very drinkable and keeps the lager drinkers happy I chucked a few hops in at the end of fermentation Chinnock I think that was very nice to.

Def not a 'true lager' - and unlikely to be a lager yeast. That said I recently fermented my second lager using lager yeast at 25c - but that was fermented under pressure - tastes great.
