My most successful lagers are garage lagers. I have no temperature control. In fact, I froze my last two lagers. I was worried about the yeast, so before bottling I pitched a tablespoon of lager yeast before bottling. It all worked out quite well. The beer is wonderful. I've also made lagers at warmer temps (basement floor in winter temps). The beer is not a perfect example of a lager, but it is still very good. I have never had a problem carbonating a lager. I usually let the bottles sit at room temperature for several days. Then I let them chill for a couple weeks. I have “lagered,” but without a fridge. My most successful lagers are garage lagers.
