Hi All,
I have searched high and low and have found conflicting information re D-rests. I was hoping for some clarification.
I have a Pilsner which has reached FG (1013) and a Lager which is at 1016 with an aim of 1011. Pilsner has been down 12 days and Lager 10 days. Both are in the same ferm fridge.
I will be racking to secondary to CC for 3-4 weeks, but am thinking I need to D-Rest them first. The Pilsner tastes great but the Lager does taste a bit butterscotchy.
My question - given that the Lager still has a way to go before FG is reached would now be a good time to ramp the fridge up to 17-18c? I'm assuiming it would have no adverse effect on the Pilsner which has all but reached FG? If this is the case is it ok to leave at this temp until fermenation has finished before racking and putting back in the fridge at 1c?
Appreciate any advice.
