Pitched Wyeast 2308 Munich Lager yeast at 60 degrees this past Saturday evening for a German Pilsner. The OG was 1.052, the gravity reading as of Wednesday was 1.010. I brought the temp down to 50 on Sunday evening.
So my question you folks is when should I do a diacetyl rest at 62 for two days, given how fast the fermentation appears to be going even at 50 degrees?
I was originally thinking of going 12 days at 50, then raise it to 62 for 2 days, then rack to secondary and add gelatin, then transfer to the keg for 1 1/2 months of lagering.
Thanks ahead of time.
