I pitched an Aussie standard lager type beer with Wyeast 2112 Californian Lager on Monday night and this morning it was frothing through airlock, not major but it's coated the underside of the lid. I had pitched at 18 and took it down to 16 as I understand that steam beer yeast should be fermented at 'low ale' temps and that it's not suitable for 'cold fermentation techniques'.
I've cleaned up the mess and zoomed it down to 13 where it's blooping steadily although still high krausen. Anyone have experience of this yeast as I can't seem to get a firm guide to best temperature other than 14-20 ? 13 strikes me as getting more into the 'normal' lager range.
