I'm currently fermenting my first lager. The only catch is that the fridge temp is a little lower than the recommended fermentation temps. I can't seem to get the fridge warmer than 40F. It's been in there for four days and seems to be doing fine, little foamy and bubbles in the airlock about every 25-35 seconds. I think the yeast recommended 45-53F or something like that. Is that going to be a problem? Also does the primary fermentation take longer on lagers? I would normally get an ale out of the primary after 7-10 days. Any other tips I should know? Thanks so much for any help. This forum is awesome too btw.
