Hi
This is my first brew. I started with a vienna lager : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B5F1U3K/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20
Of course lagers are a lot more work but I really wanted to start with one. Now, I followed the instruction and saw a couple of videos. I added yeast to my wort after cooling it down to around 70. Here is where I messed up :
-I left the wort for around 10 hours at that temperature (a lot of bubble in my air lock)
-Then realizing, I need lower temperature, I struggled for the next 7 days, and the temperature fluctuated between 64 - 70
-Now I made room in my fridge and the temperature is around 50-55 now
My questions being :
- Have I destroyed my first batch? If yes, how do I save it ?
- Should I do an di-acetyl rest?
- How long should I keep in secondary ?
Thank you
