Hi,
So I am 24+ hours into my first true lager. i am using the YEAST STRAIN: 2124 | Bohemian Lager™
I am getting about 20-24 bubbles per minute @ 51 degrees. i have about an 1'' of krousen and a nice stream of bubbles going from bottom to top, but it is not the "churning" type of fermentation i am used to with the ales i have done in the past. is this normal for Lagers? will this cause a longer "primary" fermentation time?
As always thank you for your help!!

RE: My first Lager / Primary fermentation question
Sounds like its doing perfectly to me! Lager yeasts aren't so violent fermenters as some of the ale yeasts are probably due to the decreased fermentation temps. Give it a lot of time to ferment out and maintain that temperature and you will have a great lager!
hope this helps!

Everything doubles
Twice the yeast and twice the time but oh so worth it.
