I have a Lager in the fridge at 9°C (48.2°F)
OG was 1.056
Expected FG is 1.014
Yeast is WLP 830
A hydrometer reading just taken shows 1.036 and it is going gang-busters.
Can some of you lager buffs give your thoughts on when (at what SG) you would give this a D-Rest and how you would go about raising the temperature (to what level and speed to achieve max temp) and for how long to leave it at max temp. My plan was to transfer to secondary when fermentation completed and then leave in fridge at 1°C (34°F) for about 6-8 weeks (while I will be out of town) before bottling.
