After 15 successful ale batches this year I attempted my first lager last night. I innoculated the wort with 2 pouches of saflager and left in my garage which is a balmy 48°.
Should I have started the fermentation warmer and then cooled or can I start the fermentation at 48°? I don't see any activity after 7 hours. I use pure O2 for oxygenation and usually have good activity by now.
Any input would be helpful.
Cheers.
