    Using vanilla bean

    Ya I'm just going by what I've read about strawberries being tart, never used them myself. I'm a last minute person so I procrastinated and this batch is the batch I'm bottling. I wish I could have run a test batch first. Just kind of wanted some opinion on what home brewers think about...

    how do i know when the diacetyl rest is complete

    This is my first attempt at a lager(Czech pils). I'm not expecting to much from it but I raised the temp to 65 but now I have no idea how long to let it sit like that.

    is it possible for my czech pils to be done fermenting in a week?

    You think 55 is a little to warm? I guess I was afraid to drop below 50. What temp would you have fermented at? And this might be a dumb question but how should I check the ferment to see if its done? Syfon through the airlock hole or open the lid?
