Is a 72 degree diacetyl rest too high for a lager?

[kiwipen]

Can it lead to anything bad, or is a 72 degree diacetyl rest OK for a lager?

If you are doing the rest after fermentation is almost complete, the temp won’t make a difference. It will affect somewhat the carbonation calculations as more co2 will have been released.

It's for the last 10 SG points.

I might not have time to keg it soon. Will it take any damage if it's kept at 72 degrees for two weeks?

Given my druthers, I'd prefer to keep it at 50F for two weeks.

No.
