I brewed my first lager (a simple marzen) 8 days ago. I have read about the diacetyl rest and how to do it. My question is when do I need to start it? Right now I still have a very active fermentation with a nice krausen but I am nearing the point where I need to start the rest (at least according to the instructions; it suggest 7-10 days after brewing).
Do I need to wait for the krausen to fall, or do I need to start the rest soon? Thanks!
