A practical consequence of the low temperature used for lager is that fermentation

  • A.Takes considerably longer than for an ale
  • B.Finishes within a few hours of pitching
  • C.Produces no carbon dioxide at any stage
  • D.Requires no yeast to be added at all

Answer: A

Cold slows the yeast, so a lager ferments over weeks where an ale may be finished in days, and it is then matured cold for longer still. The slower, cooler fermentation is part of what gives lager its cleaner flavour profile.
