Cyser is apple cider, fortified with honey. It's not beer.

Subject: yeast vs. temp. 

I have a question regarding temperature of fermentation vs. type of yeast  
used.  I've used either a packet of yeast that comes with an extract kit, a  
package of Doric ale yeast, or both, in all brews I've made so far.  All of  
my fermentations were done in the cellar which has been pretty cold this  
winter (maybe about 62 F) and the beers have been rather tasty.  My  
question is this: does it matter if you use a lager yeast at these  
temperatures, or even warmer temperatures?  Some of the recipes in  
Papzian's book call for lager yeast, but don't require brewing at lagering  
temperatures.  I've been told that brewing at higher temperatures using  
lager yeast results in "steam beer".  What is characteristically different  
about steam beers?

Subject: Boulder Beer 

	I've heard recently from two different sources that the 
	Boulder Brewing Company is having some serious problems. 

	Is this true?  If so, what's the story?? 

	It doesn't really affect me since Boulder isn't sold in 
	Minnesota -- I'm just curious. 

	Cheers,
