I have an amber lager with an og of 1.052 fermenting at 51degrees. I pitched wyeast 2124 bohemian lager yeast at 60degrees 7 days ago. I left it at about 60 degrees for about a day waiting for fermentation to kick in and then moved it to the fridge. Its been steadily bubbling and is currently bubbling once every 5 sec. It has a half inch of kraeusen ontop and large and small particles actively moving inside.
This is the first time I primary fermented at lager temps. In the past I primary fermented at about 64 degrees and lagered the secondary With good results. I can usually rack the beer by the 7th day because the fermentation is mostly complete and not as active.
Am I ready to rack?
