Currently making my second lager, the first one (Feb 2016) turned out fantastic. Diacetyl rest is underway, I'll be dropping the temperature 5f to lager temperatures starting tomorrow; like I did last year.
I'm starting another lager Friday but when it comes time to bring it down to lager temperature after the diacetyl I have the capacity to fit it with the batch I'm putting in tomorrow, but I won't be able to bring it down gradually in temperature without bringing the other batch up.
Is it OK to bring it from room temperature after diacetyl right down to 34f immediately? This process would take about 7 days if dropping 5f/day.
