70 degrees to high for diacetyl rest?

[how1]

I fermented my lager at 50 degrees. Should the diacetyl rest be 60? Would 70 be too high?

Nope, the d-rest is simply used to get the yeast active enough to consume the diacetyl and clean things up. You can d-rest until you reach FG and then slowly drop the temps to lager

Great...sounds good. I just needed some room in my fermenting chamber and was hoping I could "D" rest at room temp (70 degrees).

+1 no issues at room temp. Done it many times.
