So I've got my first lager on.. I'm a fresh noob and have only done about 6 ales... this is 80 % pils and 20 % vienna with wyeast 2124..
It's been fermenting at 9-13 C for about a week now, OG was 1.047 and it is now at about 1.014, the krausen has dropped significantly in the last 24 hours..
Have a couple of questions was hoping you guys could help with..
1. It seems to have fermented quickly.. is that normal for a lager, i wasn't expecting the krausen to settle in just a week?
2. When to diacetyl rest? Reading threads some ppl are saying d-rest when fermentation is 2/3 of the way through, some guys are saying wait until it's complete, i'm confused as to when this d-rest should be carried out..
Cheers~!
