So, avoid lager until you get more experienced at doing it?

yes, a lager is a more advanced process.
requiring you to drop and hold temps for a certain amount of time.
diactyl rests, etc.

plus bottle conditioning can take months

My first brew was an Amber =Ale, using cascade and kent golding hops.
It came out perfect.
Time from brew day to drinking was 6 weeks
