I couldn't tell you if this yeast requires a D rest but when I did use this yeast I did raise the temperature toward the end of the ferment to ensure the beer was fully fermented with the added bonus of performing a D rest at the same time.

Staro Prague is one of the best lager yeast I've used so far.

What temp is it at proudscum? Did you pitch cold and did you pitch enough yeast?

Yes it is a favourite but I'm refering to the euro strains

Are you using the Straro Prague in your Vienna? If so we'll have to do a side by side yeast comparison since I'm about to keg a Vienna using 2001.

i managed to get it down to 14 in the kettle and pitched at 10 after a couple of hours in the fermentation fridge.I had a 1.5lt starter which i settled out...so poured off and then pitched.so its going from 11 to 20 over a couple of days and will rack off then cc
