I have been brewing for a few months now. All my ales have come out great, so I decided to try my hand at lagers. I built a "Son of fermentation chamber" style chiller. I brewed a lager and a pilsner on Sunday and slowly have lowered the temperature in the chamber. This morning it was at the top end of the recommended range of the yeast.
As of right now there is still no action in the fermentation looks. I pitched the yeast directly from the slap pack and didn't do a starter. The plan is to do a diactyl rest.
I am just wondering when I should see something happening? The water levels in the air locks is also low. I'm afraid that I may have cooled the wort too quickly and the water in the lock was suctioned inside.
