Lagers are (or should be) fermented at around 10 deg C, and thus take longer to ferment than ales that are fermented at room temperature. They also need to be 'stored' (that's what 'lager' means) at 8-10 deg. for several weeks after primary fermentation to develop that characteristic lager flavour.
