When is the optimal time to do a diacetyl rest for a lager. I have done an extract recipe where I did not do a rest at all and did not have any off flavor of diacetyl and done an all grain where I have done a diacetyl rest for the last 2 days of primary fermentation and have had substantial diacetyl flavor. Thoughts? Maybe I have done something else wrong during the process to have left over diacetyl in my beer.
