Anyone ever use MJ M76 Bavarian lager yeast ?
Pitched 2 packs into 20 L of 1.050 California Common that I made yesterday. 24 hours later, no bubbles yet. The wort was 12c and is currently sitting at 11.5c. This is my first lager, just wondering if I'm being impatient
Kegged - Cold IPA, NEIPA, Fieldberry Wheat, Dark Abbey Ale, Apple Pear Cider, American Lager, American Stout, Belgian Wit

I pitched one pack into 20L of Pilsner in a carboy sitting on my basement cement floor. That was on the 30th, and the damn thing is STILL bubbling away!

Lager requires significantly more yeast than ales. 20L of 1.050 wort would require about 40g of yeast, and 50g would be better. Rehydrated.
You'll certainly still make beer, I'm sure it'll kick up soon. Never a bad idea to use a pitch rate calculator in the future. Lagers definitely reward attention to detail.

My first lager took 72 hours to get going. It turned out great.
