I kicked a starter off Wednesday night....1 cup of liquid extract in about 900mLs so around 1.045 or so...had it kicking at 52 degrees in fridge with no controller....was bubbling around just fine when I pitched it Saturday morning around 11am.....shook it up for a minute to get oxygen in just like I do with ale....and as of 8am this morning I can't really see significant activity. When I pitched it the lager was only down to about 60 degrees.(was down to 52 by the late afternoon)...did the +8 temp shock them? Or is lager sometimes just real slow to get going? Do I need to start planning a re-pitch? Lager wort is at about 1.050.
