Hey all. I recently brewed a Sam Adams Boston Lager clone from AHS. The kit came with WLP830, German lager yeast. My OG was quite low, at 1.041, it was suppose to be 1.051. Anyways, I realize I should have made a starter, but, I didn't. I chilled to 70° and pitched the one vial that came with the kit. I realize that I drastically under pitched, but I started seeing activity within 12 hours. I cooled down to 50° and 24 hours later I'm still seeing airlock activity. So, my question is this... Am I in the clear regarding any type of fermentation lag, or should I still be expecting that, due to my under pitching?
