well I have plenty of ale yeast so I could just sub the the Pilsner for the pale malt but I have pale ale malt so I can make plenty of my regular pale ales. But what I was trying to ask is has anyone tasted a European style lager using American hops? I know we can but is it worth it. I'm sure I can get a drinkable beer but worried it would end up not quite a pale ale and not quite a pilsner. Dumb idea I guess
