I brewed an ESB on Saturday and pitched Wyeast 1968. It is bubbling happily away in the fermentation chamber at 64 degrees. The Wyeast style guide says that this strain needs a diacetyl rest. Do I need to raise the temperature to 70 degrees after fermentation ends for the diacetyl rest, or do I just leave it at 64 degrees for an extra week or so. I was planning on three weeks in the primary and then straight to keg for carb and then consumption.
