Starter temp with lager yeast

[guldalian]

I am using lager yeast for the very first time this week. I am wondering, when making a starter with lager yeast, do you do it at room temperature like an ale yeast? Or should it be cooler?

You can leave it at room temp as the yeast will propagate just fine and faster. The fermentation temperature will affect the flavor, but with a starter, it doesnt matter.
