Mashing does not need to be appreciably different for lagers than for ales, apart from the fact that non-flaked adjuncts such as corn or rice may require a separate cereal mash to gelatinize the starches prior to being added to the main mash of base and specialty malts. The saccharification temperature of the mash largely controls the degree of attenuation and the resulting body of the beer. Choose a higher temperature rest (156–158 °F/69–70 °C) for sweeter, fuller-bodied beers, or a lower temperature (148–150 °F/64–65 °C) for drier, less full beer styles.

Even so, there are times when we want to brew lagers, especially the more full-flavored styles that often are harder to find commercially or are prohibitively expensive. Early avoidanceThe last half of the 19th Century brought a revolution in brewing, when technical and scientific advances — including refrigeration and isolation of pure yeast strains — propelled lager beer far beyond its traditional birthplace in central Europe and allowed it to be brewed virtually anywhere. It has now reached the point where more than 90% of the beers brewed worldwide are lagers. For example, wine that says "12% ABV" or "alcohol volume 12%" means 12% of the volume of that drink is pure alcohol.

Beginning homebrewers are often cautioned to start with ales, which are usually less demanding in terms of equipment and technique. Specifically, the requirement of maintaining fermentation temperatures around 45–55 °F (7–13 °C) — lower than typical room temperature, but higher than refrigerator temperatures — keeps many homebrewers from taking the plunge.

Two companies (Fermentis and Brewferm) have recently introduced dried lager yeast strains. For many homebrewers, the verdict is still out on dried lager yeast, but some homebrewers report good results with these new strains. Adjuncts used in many American Pilsners and generic international lagers require mashing. Extract brewers can use rice syrup and corn syrup that are widely available, so these adjuncts can be added in the brewpot.
