Wouldn't a Vorlauf accomplish the same result?

Thanks A LOT guys, i really appreciate it! I am however still a little bit confused as to wether I should raise the temp or decrease for the diacetyl-rest. I see there are some different opinions here, or maybe Im misunderstanding what you guys are trying to say. So: Would there be anything...

Anyone please? I have made a circuit that makes me able to control the temperature to whatever I want remotely. Should the temperature be lowered slowly down to almost freezing already now since the fermentation seems to be nearly complete?

I just took a gravity reading, and it seems like it is at 1012-1014 already :S Isnt this too fast? It wasnt very high to start with though, maybe 1035-1040. What should I do now? Diacetyl rest already - before it reaches FG? All input is valued greatly!

Ok, thanks a lot mate. My temp controller (stc1000) is a bit tricky to set up for other people, so what if I can get someone to just get into my house and turn the fridge off for 1-2 days (is that the right amount of time for diacetyl rest?) and then come back and plug it back in again? I reckon...

When do I need to start this 1deg/day increase? Remember, for 12-13 days I won't be able to adjust the temperature:confused:

Hi people, I brewed my first lager on Sept 27th and it is now in a temp controller fridge at 11 degrees C (52F). I am going to USA for 12 days on sunday (5th) and will be back Oct 17th. Is it then too late to crank the temperature up for a diacetyl rest? I am worried I got a problem...

I would really like to try this as well. Pokeacow, would you be interested in sharing one of your recepies? What I can buy of Non-Alcoholic beer where I live taste horrible...
