This is my first time working with lager yeast. I have my primary in the kegerator and it's at 52F. I have bubbling in my airlock, but it's not as fast as what an ale usually produces. Is this normal for lagers? It just seems to be going slow to me.

Thanks android. I heard people talking about diacetyl rests here before, but wasn't quite sure when to do it. I was going to raise it back up to about 65F-70F for a day before racking to secondary. Then I'm going to bring it down to about 35-40F. Does this sound right?
I have a question. It seems that when I first open my kegerator to check on the air lock there is no activity. Then after about ten seconds I get a bubble and it starts bubbling every three seconds. Why would this be? Do you think it's too cold in the fridge and the yeast are not working at the rate they should? Or should the lager yeast only bubble very slowly?
