I put down a Coopers lager yesterday morning and it has taken 26 hours for any airlock activity.
What I made;
Coopers Lager
500 grams Dex
500 grams LDME
175 grams Crystal grain
12 grams Sticklebract hops (finishing)
OG 1060
Pitching temp. 21 degrees C
I've been making Coopers International series beers for the last couple of years and have come back to the original series just for a change. I swear it must be a different yeast, the Canadian blonde or Bavarian lager never took this long to kick off.
I have no doubt it will brew without trouble but am a bit amazed at the speed/activity of the different yeast.
Maybe it's time I started using Saflager or something similar...
