What do you guys do if you ever decide you want to brew a lager? I don't have an extra fridge in which to do that (wishing now that I would have kept my old fridge when we got a new one a couple weeks ago instead of giving it to my niece).

If you want to lager, you will have to have some sort of way to keep your temperatures down. Now is a perfect time to lager if you don't have a dedicated fridge; cold basement temps or possibly garage? It just about being able to keep it at a fairly consistent 50 degrees or so (depending on your yeast).

There is always the Steam beer alternative, lager yeast at ale temps, as well.
