Hi all.
On Tuesday I started an Ale brew and within several hours it started bubbling away and am happy.
- Morgans Pacific Pale Ale 1.7kg tin
- Morgans Master Malt Wheat 1.5kg tin
- yeast that came with tin
bubbling away happily at 26 C

BUT
on the day before ( Monday ) I started a Larger and still it is not bubbling.
- Coopers European Larger tin
- " brew blend #20 " 1kg
- yeast Saflager w34/70 11.5g

The Larger is in a fridge at a controlled temp between 12-14 C ( added yeast at 24 C )

should I be concerned that it is not bubbling yet like the Ale ?
or is it that Largers take a bit longer to kick off ?
the Ale I really mixed the yeast in well and air rated for a good 30 sec before putting lid on.
the larger I just put yeast on top gave a little stir then put lid on.

should I open the lid on the Larger and give it a really good stir ?
or just be patient ?
