Do you have a way to control fermentation temperatures? From memory 34/70 yeast performs best in the 10-15 degree range. If you are making a 20L+ batch then you may need 2 packets. In my very small lager knowledge bank I have never heard or people using a wheat extract but that is the beauty of brewing, you can do whatever you want. As for hops I would be using good old noble hops such as Saaz, Tettnang or Hallertauer. Good Luck, Beer Baron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 You can but lagers don't usually have any wheat in them. +1 to the above as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty_G Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I am about to cold crash a Lager that used Cluster hops ... from the tastings I have done during fermentation the hops have added a very pleasant nose and notable bitterness ... really looking forward to bottling and progressively tasting as it lagers ... I get the feeling it is going to be pretty good ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
