I recently brewed a German Pilsner with a large starter of WLP830. Everything is going swimmingly fermenting at 50F. When FG reached 1.016, I turned off my glycol and started to let temperature rise for a diacetyl rest…
Problem is temperature in my garage doesn’t get above 57F. I’m fermenting in a conical and don’t have a heat wrap or heater, so seems I’m SOL getting my temps higher.
I was going to d-rest for 3 days. Since I can’t get should I double my rest time? Will the yeast still clean up the diacetyl at 57F?
for the record, I heated a sample up and smelled the popcorn, so I know it’s there.
