I tried my first hand at a simple pils using german lager yeast. I believe I underpitched simply because I decanted the starter without really letting it settle out long enough, either way...
I raised the temp after 3 weeks at 50* to 62 for a d-rest and it dropped another few points to 1.013 where it sits now. My target FG was 1.008, do I just call it done and begin lagering or should I try and get it down? I figured id have to pitch some Nottingham which would probably mess with the flavor, and it's not terribly high as it sits now. The mash was 147*. Being unfamiliar with lagers I'm not sure if 1.013 is too high still
