My kegerator also serves as my fermentation fridge and I'm looking at trying to brew this weekend. Was thinking I might brew my first lager and have it ferment at the serving temp of my oktoberfast. Any recommendations on a first lager style thats pretty easy and will fit the bill? Recipes? Tips on lagering in general?
I'm not an expert on lagers but as big perm said, the fermentation temp will be a problem. You could use a kveik strain though. From what i'm reading, there are a few strains that make lager-like beers. Again, i'm very new to kveik and just started reading about it, so i can't give you any definitive answers. The one thing about kveik, though, is you can ferment at just about any temperature. So if you wanted to ferment in the garage, or a closet, it is possible without any off flavors.

I used Kveik for a Mexican lager once. I threw the whole batch out. I learned Kveik needed to be hot. It would not ferment at 70 degrees. I had to put a heater on it for it to take off. It was definitely not “clean” but I may have fricked something up. That’s my experience with Kveik.
