I know usually diacetyl is not a desirable flavor in beer, but I wanted to try something just for fun. I don't really want any esters just a strong diacetyl flavor.

Does anyone have any good info on controlling diacetyl during fermentation? What yeast strains are known to have a high diacetyl by product if fermented high/low?

Would lager yeast fermented at 78-80f create that flavor?

Should I not bother and just use butter extract?
