Ive been reading, and just want to verify: the only difference between an ale starter and a lager starter is size, correct? No different procedures or ingredients? Gonna brew my first lager soon and wanna get it right

Yep, Just the size....I am not sure if this the proper procedure BUT, I let my lagers sit at room temp for the first 24-36 hours and then bring them down to lager primary temps

Has anyone had any success with a primary lager fermentation temperature of 42-44 f? .
Here is a question to add to this thread about lager starters. This is my first time using bottom-fermenting yeast in a starter. It took almost 24 hours for me to activity in the 2L starter that I created on a stir plate. Is lager yeast slower at reproducing than the equivalent ale yeast at the same temperature?
