It's not recommended to make starters with dry yeast. Rehydrate 2 pks then add cold water over 10-20 minutes to get the temp down near pitching temp. Then pitch.
Why not put it in the ferm chamber first and get down to 55F and then pitch? Thats what I usually do.
I will try that next time. I didn't want to chance infection by pitching later. also could anyone help with a d-rest. I'm following https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=147772. he says to primary for 30 days at 55f. then d-rest for 72 hours. my sg was 1.051. from what I've read I should start the d rest at 1.012. then lager at 33f for 30 days
