I have a lager I brewed a month ago. I went 2 weeks primary, 2 days diacetyl rest, and now i'm on week 2 of lagering in a secondary. I took a bottle's worth off a week ago, added a carbonation drop, let it sit at room temp, chilled it for a day. When I tried the sample yesterday, I had the distinct flavor of diacetyl (butter-ey flavor)
I took a small sample straight from the secondary, and no diacetyl flavor. Have any of you had this issue before? I am guessing it must be from the carb drop, but I have never had this issue before. (although this is my first lager attempt)
