IIUI, the difference between an ale and a lager is that lagers are bottom-fermented, typically at a low temperature, and ales are top-fermented, typically at a higher temperature. 'Lagering' is simply cool fermentation, is it not? Which is why you can have unlagered lagers and lagered ales.. Also, IIRC, stella *used to* be lagered, but isn't any more because of cost-cutting. Sorry, I mean because of "improvements in brewing technology". > It is, however, a pilsner. Which is a type of lager... *runs and hides* |
