I'm curious about the speed at which a lager yeast will ferment at warmer temps. I've got a basterdized 1554 clone in the fermenter. The recipe calls for a Bohemian Lager yeast fermented at 65f. I only had access to Saflager 34/70 dry yeast so I used 1 pack of that. The hydrated yeast looked good and I oxygenated with pure O2 for 2 mins prior to snapping down the lid. My OG was 1.056 now 48hrs later it has crawled down to 1.050. This is a wee bit slower than ale brews I've done in the past.
What should I be seeing with regards to speed of fermentation? I realize I still have a while to go but I'm curious about how fast a lager yeast will drive down the SG at 64-65f.
