definitely ferment at ale temps. Can't speak to whether 24 hrs is enough time. Probably not, but I don't know. Is it super fresh?Can I make a lager starter this afternoon, and pitch it tomorrow? Of course I can, but will it work? I am using White Labs WLP833 Bock yeast. Also, I have only done one lager prior to this. Should I ferment my starter at ale or lager temps?

24 hours is fine for an ale starter but lager starters are so large that it takes at least a couple of days for them to ferment out.I was pretty sure it was too fast of a turnaround. I didn't even consider it, when I planned the brew session and ordered. I do ales starters in 24 hours all the time.
