I just racked my first strawberry blonde onto 5 lbs of fresh, sanitized strawberries about an hour after the krausen dropped -- and that's when I had my first experience with diacetyl. (I would have liked to have left it in the primary a few more days, but i'm going out of town.)
Within 15 minutes, I had airlock activity -- it's still going slow and steady. Is the strawberry going to cause the existing yeast to restart and thereby absorb the diacetyl? Should I repitch some more yeast tomorrow before I leave? Am I screwed?
