Hey Guys.
I need a little help. Ive just put down Helles stlye beer out of The complete joy of home brewing.I used wyeast 2206 Baverian lager on the advice of my HB shop. The brew went well but after reading about the yeast it calls for a Diacetyl Rest. I have read a few threads about the subject on here and kind of get what Diacetyl is but just dont know when to apply the rest. I have the brew fermenting in the fridge at 13c and aim to transfer to another ferementer after the majoritrty of fermentation has occur and leave for 3-4 weeks at about 7 -10c. then bottle , carb, and cold condition. Should I apply the Diacetyl rest after the the primary fermentation? how long do I rest the brew for? and how much should I warm it up by?
Any help most welcome.
Thanks guys.
