I pitched the yeast in the wort last night.
For some reason the wort didn't cool as fast as I have seen in the past. After a few more hours than usual, the wort got down under 80 degrees. I pitched the yeast and placed the carboy in my garage. I had thought this would be cool enough to get the beer down to a good lager fermenting temperature.
This morning the temp on the carboy was 62 - not quite cold enough. So I placed it in the fridge and it is currently at 52 - which I think is good.
It will be interesting to see how well I can regulate the temperature. Also, the starter yeast smelled great...real German lager!
