I have an Amber Lager that has a STRONG diacetyl taste. I mean, you could put this stuff on your popcorn. The beer has a very nice color, good head, and under the butter the taste seems good.
I did a diacetyl rest between primary and secondary, about two days worth, but I guess the yeast was shot.
Now, I am thinking of pulling the keg out of the kegerator, letting it warm up to about 65*, and pitching another pack of yeast into it. I will give it a few days, then stick it back in the kegerator.
There will be a little sediment, but that will beat butter.
Should I add a little taste of sugar with the yeast, or just let it eat what it can find in the keg?
