Is there a standard for length and temperature of lagering for California Common? I'm using Wyeast 2112.
Thanks.

short answer, the colder the better and longer the better 
in general the rule of thumb for lagers is 1 week per 8-10 gravity points as close to 32° as possible
since it's a hybrid you don't necessarily need to lager it that long but it will help give it that crisp finish

I was under the impression that this yeast responded well to shorter, warmer lagering. Has that not been your experience?

Took me a while but I finally found how Anchor does it: 3 weeks at 50F. I hope this info is useful for somebody else.
Mine has been in the keg for about 3 weeks in the low 40's, 2 weeks at 50 prior to that and it's nice and crisp like a lager.
