8244 Carbonation 3/7/2012

Question
I made a california lager using wyeast# 2112 about 6 or 7 weeks ago. Fermented at 60 degrees for primary and secondary fermentation. I bottled with about 1 1/2 cups DME. Its been almost 3 weeks and I tried one and its not carbonated at all. Should I give it 1 or 2 more weeks or should I move it upstairs to 72 degrees.

Response From Homebrew Heaven
Definately. Move it to a warm place for at least 2 weeks or so. Lagers and DME both cause your beer to carbonate slowly.
