I've read a lot of different posts/forums/articles and whatever on this subject.
I can't say I've had a problem with Diacetyl but nonetheless I'm still trying to practice it.
I'm curious to when you typically start it? 3 days after initial fermentation? Sooner? Later?
I have also read that with ales as long as you leave it long enough in the fermentor you shouldn't worry too much about Diacetyl as the yeast will eventually clean it out because of the warmer temperatures.
Not sure how true this last one is.
Thanks in advance
