Hello all. I'm trying a lager yeast--the WLP 800 pilsener yeast--and it's been in the carboy for about 5 days now and still not a bubble in the airlock or anywhere visible in the beer. My basement was at 52^ for a few days but now it's getting too cold so I brought it upstairs, and as I agitated it while carrying it, and now even that it's been set down for a few hours, the airlock has bubbles.
I notice there is a huge amount of protein break at the bottom of the carboy--is it possible the yeast was trapped under that along with a little CO2, and now that's been agitated it all released? I had problems with my boil, running out of propane about 50 minutes in, so I didn't get the good long vigorous boil I wanted--could that explain the extra protein break?
Trying to save this batch!
Thanks,
--Matt
