Here's the story: I used a White labs pilsner yeast and pitched at 70. After fermy started I put the carboy in the fridge and let sit for 2 weeks at 50 - 55. I then gave the carboy a swirl or two and brought the temp up to 70 for about 36 hours. Fermentation started again and a new krausen developed. As it had been over two weeks I racked to a secondary and then lowered the temp to 38 to lager. The beer tasted like pineapple and the hydrometer read around 1.02. After about a week in the secondary at 38 I brought the temp back up to 50 and a new krausen has started. Can anybody explain what is going on? Will it lose that pineapple flavor? How long do I let it sit again at 50? Seems like primary ferm never completed. Will beer still be ok?
